Dólar MEP and CCL today, the exchange rate gap, BADLAR rate and BCRA reserves in one place
Following the Argentine market means keeping ten tabs open: one for the dólar MEP, another for the CCL (the two financial exchange rates), another for the blue dollar (the informal parallel rate), the BCRA's for reserves and interest rates, and INDEC's for inflation. Argentina Data MCP connects Claude or ChatGPT to those sources: today's quotes for every type of dollar (official, Banco Nación, blue, MEP, CCL, wholesale, crypto and card), their history since 2020, and the BCRA and INDEC series that make up the macro picture. Every figure arrives with its source and its date.
One necessary caveat: this is information, not financial advice or an investment recommendation. The assistant brings you the data and helps you read it; what you do with your money is your decision or your advisor's. If you are an advisor, it gives you a verifiable figure in seconds when a client asks.
What you solve with one question
Every rate and the gap, in one go
You want to see the MEP, the CCL, the blue and the official rate at the same time and know how far each one sits from the official rate. Ask in a single sentence: the assistant brings today's quotes with bid and ask, calculates the brecha cambiaria (the gap between each rate and the official one) and tells you the time of each quote.
What are the dólar MEP, CCL, blue and official rates right now? Work out the gap of each one against the official rate and give me the time of each quote.
The BADLAR rate and other benchmark rates
To compare a fixed-term deposit or a fund against inflation you need the current rate and where it was coming from. Search the BCRA's BADLAR series (a benchmark rate on large bank deposits) and ask for the last month: the assistant brings it with its source and frequency.
Find the BCRA's BADLAR rate for private banks and show me the last 30 days. Did it go up or down compared with the previous month?
BCRA reserves today and the trend
The reserves figure moves every day and headlines usually stop at the loose number. Ask for today's value and the evolution over the last few months to see whether the trend backs it up.
How much are the BCRA's international reserves today and how have they changed over the last 3 months?
How the gap moved over time
You want to know whether the current gap is high or low compared with the past year. The dollar history covers every rate type since 2020, so the assistant can build the gap month by month and flag the highs and lows.
Show me the gap between the CCL and the official rate month by month since January 2024, and tell me which month it peaked and which month it bottomed.
The macro picture in a single question
Before deciding anything you want to know how the economy stands compared with a few months ago: dollar, gap, reserves, rates, inflation and activity. The historical comparator pulls it all into one answer, and the weekly summary catches you up on what happened during the week. Both are beta tools, included in the Pro plan.
