With an increase of between 35 and 50 pesos, the blue dollar closed this Friday in Salta, causing some surprise among the local city operators.
Sources consulted by El Tribuno confirmed that the foreign currency closed the week at $1,250 for purchase and $1,330 for sale on the street, while in the offices the gap was shorter: $1,275 for purchase and $1,305 for sale.
Compared to the previous day, the North American currency experienced an increase of up to 50 pesos, recovering the value it had on Wednesday, before the Bases law was approved in the Senate of the Nation.
On Thursday, the blue dollar fell as economists expected, after the vote in the Upper House, but this Friday it rose again.

However, if Monday’s price is taken into account, the foreign currency closed the week without changes between the operations of the Salta caves: on Monday it was sold at $1305, on Tuesday it increased $5 and closed at $1310, on Thursday it fell to $1270 and finally, today it closed at $1305, the same price as Monday.
The operations with the little trees presented greater instability, since the week opened with a price of $1300, on Tuesday it was $1350, on Thursday $1280 and this Friday, $1330.
“When the law was approved, the dollar fell, but today the market began to demand dollars and in Salta the demand was very strong, many people who want to buy,” they told El Tribuno from the Salta microcenter. They understand that people seek to protect themselves by opting for this informal market, and not for bank returns.
