Wholesale dollar rises for sixth consecutive day, reaching a new nominal record

The wholesale dollar has reached a new nominal record, opening at $1,528 and rising for the sixth consecutive day. Despite the increase in private demand, a robust supply of dollars allows the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) to maintain its purchases, leading to stabilization in the market. The gap between the wholesale and informal exchange rates has narrowed, and the market appears calm in the face of depreciation expectations.

65% don't make it to the 20th of the month and over 80% lose against inflation
During his speech at the Argentina Oil & Gas Patagonia 2026 event, President Javier Milei questioned surveys indicating that 65% of Argentines cannot make it to the end of the month, calling these claims 'nonsense.' Despite his assertions about economic improvement, a recent public opinion study shows that over 80% of respondents feel their salaries do not keep pace with inflation, and indebtedness has become a crucial tool for covering basic expenses. This situation presents a significant challenge for the government, as macroeconomic recovery has yet to reflect in families' well-being.

JP Morgan: Three conditions for inflation to decelerate in the final stretch of the year
JP Morgan projects that inflation in Argentina may decelerate in the last quarter of 2026, finishing the year at 29.4%. Achieving this requires keeping the real exchange rate stable, moderating pressure from seasonal prices, and reducing the intensity of increases in tariffs and regulated prices. However, there are risks associated with the postponement of tax hikes, particularly on fuels, which could exert pressure on prices in the final months of the year.
