> The informal 'free' dollar in Argentina rose one peso to 201 pesos for sale, touching its 2022 floor from late December. Dollar-linked bonds and the MEP and counted-with-liquidation rates also moved marginally. The central bank sold about $35 million in the spot market that day, after about $40 million the day before.

## Why it matters

A weaker peso raises the local cost of imported feed ingredients and fertilizer for Argentine buyers. The central bank's dollar sales are a sign of its efforts to contain currency pressure, which can affect export pricing for soy products.
