The Argentine Peso has experienced a sudden fall vs the U.S. dollar, falling to a 5-month low in its blue rate, one of the many parallel exchange rates of the country.

The Argentine peso is facing a sudden downturn that has taken the value of the currency to historic lows.

This marks a 5-month low after a period in which the peso maintained its value relatively steady.

The last time that the peso plunged in this way was in July when the country was also panardintas in a period of political instability with the resignation of Finance Minister Martin Guzman. The historical minimum exchange rate is 350 pesos per U.S. dollar, reached in June.

Political and Financial Instability
