Argentina: official dollar opens at 1,540, blue at 1,555 on Oct 8

Argentina's official dollar opened at 1,540 pesos for sale at Banco Nación, while the parallel 'blue' dollar traded at 1,555 in Buenos Aires' informal market. The narrow spread (~1%) suggests continued stability in the managed exchange rate, with no signs of a sudden devaluation. This is routine daily pricing, but the tight gap between official and parallel rates indicates ongoing capital controls and market intervention.
