Compared to the same day last year, the Card Dollar has risen by 17%. At this time last year, it was quoted at $1525.6. So far in August 2025, the Card Dollar has risen 10% compared to the previous month.
The Card Dollar's value includes a 30% country tax and a 30% profit added to the official dollar. This total tax burden is lower than the 155% in the previous administration. The Card Dollar quotation operates from 16:30 hours, Monday to Friday, and follows the same schedule as the quotation market.
The historical trend of the U.S. Dollar quotation over the past five years, as reflected in the Dollar Index (DXY), shows fluctuations with periods of both strengthening and weakening. From around 2020 to 2025, the Dollar Index experienced a rise peaking in late 2022, followed by a decline through 2024 and into 2025. Despite this recent weakening, the Dollar Index remains relatively strong compared to earlier years in the decade.
The DXY measures the U.S. Dollar against a basket of six major currencies, including the euro, yen, and pound, giving a broad sense of the Dollar's international value. The index peaked in late 2022 but declined in 2023 and fluctuated in 2024 and early 2025, reflecting economic factors such as inflation trends, Federal Reserve policies, and global uncertainties.
In summary, the Card Dollar, despite some fluctuations, has maintained a strong position in the Argentine market. The U.S. Dollar, as represented by the DXY, has shown a trend of overall strengthening until late 2022, followed by a period of relative weakening and volatility. These trends correspond with evolving economic conditions including inflation rates, interest rate changes, and geopolitical dynamics affecting currency markets.
Investing in personal-finance matters could lead to significant returns, such as the 17% rise in the value of the Card Dollar over the past year compared to the same day last year. Engaging in sports, specifically stock market analysis, may provide insights into lucrative investment opportunities, like the steady rise in the Card Dollar's value in relation to the blue dollar, which has seen a 36% gap.
