The dollar plummets, bonds and stocks recover, and country risk falls.

The retail dollar started the week on the decline , falling to $1,420 for buying and $1,470 for selling at Banco Nación. This is a $45 drop compared to Friday, when the nominal record since the end of the currency controls had reached $1,515.

For its part, the blue dollar is bought at $1,500 and sold at $ 1,520 , that is, above the official price.

The wholesale dollar , which has been attracting attention due to government intervention to contain exchange rate pressure, is at $ 1.475 . The floating band ceiling is set at $ 1,476.79 , according to the Central Bank's website.

Financial dollars are showing a sharp decline , trading between $1,425 and $1,433.

Argentine sovereign bonds under New York law rallied on Monday: some issues climbed as high as 11%, while the bulk of the yield ranged between 3.5% and 5.6%.

The price jump brought the country risk down by about 100 basis points, to around 1,190 basis points, far from the peak of 1,500 reached last week.

The effect spread to the Wall Street premarket, where Argentine stocks traded in the green.

YPF advanced 4%, Edenor 5.24%, Vista 4.56%, Galicia 8.51%, BBVA 5.45%, Macro 6.96%, Supervielle 9.37%, Pampa 2.85% and Central Puerto 3.52%.

The boost is explained by the signal of support from the United States Treasury, which promised financial aid to the country, and by the official nod of "zero withholdings," a temporary measure designed to add fresh dollars to the Central Bank's reserves.

The temporary reduction in export duties will last until the end of October or until USD 7 billion is settled.

In addition to the dollar exchange rate at the bank, there is a 30% tax on income and personal property.
