* “Dollar today: at Banco Nación it rose to $ 1,480 and the Blue advanced at $ 1,465” – This reports the current exchange rates. “$1,480” is the rate at Banco Nación (Argentina’s national bank), and “$1,465” is the “Blue” rate (the unofficial, black market rate). The fact that both are reported indicates a important difference and potential instability.
* “There are already millionaire offers to defend the dollar on the band’s roof” – This indicates efforts are being made (with substantial financial resources) to prevent the dollar from exceeding the current limit.
