Blue/official gap: 0,00% · Normal
The blue/official gap is at 0,00%: lower than on 65% of days since 14/04/2025.
How it's calculated: we take the closing gap of each business day between the two chosen dollar rates (sell vs. sell) from 14/04/2025, when the cepo ended, until the 12/11/2026 (386 days). The needle places today's gap by how many of those days had a smaller gap, and the bands are the 25th, 75th and 90th percentiles of that series, so “normal” or “high” is measured against each pair's history. The ends show the period's lowest and highest gap. It is a statistical reference, not a forecast.

Rate gap blue/official: how it moved
Follow the pair chosen above in "Dollar" and "Contra.".
This is the percentage difference between two exchange rates, usually an alternative dollar against the official. A high gap indicates that the market pays much more than the official price.
How it's calculated
Gap = (dollar A / dollar B − 1) × 100, using the ask rate of both.
Common mistakes
Mix bid and ask.
Compare against the wholesaler when you want to know how much more expensive it is for a person: for that the retail official uses.
Frequently asked questions
How is the exchange-rate gap?
You divide the alternative dollar for the official rate, you subtract him. 1 and you multiply by 100. For example, with a $1.540 and official $1.535, the gap is 0,33%.
