With the informal 'Blue Dollar' consolidated at ARS 1,390 for sale, the currency not only remains stable but is also below the peaks seen in the last six months in both real and nominal terms.
Today's picture: Stability and a narrow gap
Quotations from April 11, 2026, reported by the Argentine News Agency, confirm the downward trend that has deepened in recent weeks. While six months ago the market operated with uncertainty pushing prices up, today's outlook shows a notable convergence:
- Blue Dollar: ARS 1,375 (Buy) / ARS 1,390 (Sell).
- Official Dollar: ARS 1,345 (Buy) / ARS 1,395 (Sell).
- MEP Dollar: ARS 1,408.10 (Buy) / ARS 1,415.20 (Sell).
This parity between the Blue and Official dollar (practically no gap) is a phenomenon not seen with such consistency in years, leaving the Blue at its lowest level since September 2025.
Why is it cheaper than six months ago?
Looking back, the Blue Dollar reached areas of higher pressure. However, the combination of a greater supply of foreign currency from agricultural liquidation and a growing demand for pesos has created a 'pincer effect' that flattened the price.
Dollar Type | Today's Sell Rate | Status vs. October 2025 --- | --- | --- Blue | ARS 1,390 | 📉 Lower (7-month low) MEP | ARS 1,415.20 | 📉 Stable / Downward Official (BNA) | ARS 1,395 | 📊 Controlled adjustment
The data: The 'Card Dollar' as a ceiling
The only one remaining in the stratosphere is the 'Card Dollar' (ARS 1,813.50), which continues to incentivize tourists and savers to turn to the MEP or Blue market to make payments, boosting supply in those segments and helping to keep prices in check.
Conclusion:
For those with the capacity for savings or foreign currency debt, the current scenario presents an unprecedented short-term opportunity: the green bill today 'costs' less than at the close of last winter.
In the country where the green currency always goes up, on April 11 it closed below October's values. In a move that defies inflationary inertia, the Argentine foreign exchange market shows a picture that few projected at the end of last year. The Argentine economy is very particular and always has some surprises, but this one was not predicted by any expert: the dollar is lower than half a year ago.
