At dawn on this Tuesday, the dollar surprises in the Cuban informal market and increases in price for the first time since April 4.
The US dollar climbs from 360 to 362, two pesos more than its value over the past few days.
The euro and the Freely Convertible Currency (MLC), for their part, have maintained the same value since Friday.
The euro is still priced at 370 and the MLC at 260.
The median of buying and selling values of the dollar in the last 24 hours -shared by the independent outlet elToque– gives indications that the US currency could continue to increase in value in the coming hours, as it is currently at 365 CUP.
Exchange rate of the dollar USD to CUP according to elTOQUE: 362 CUP.

Exchange rate from MLC to CUP according to elTOQUE: 260 CUP.

Cubans are constantly attentive to the informal exchange rate of the dollar, the euro, and the MLC because it determines their real purchasing power in an economy characterized by scarcity and inflation.
The volatility of exchange rates in Cuba leads many residents on the island to closely monitor the developments of the informal market, seeking strategies to protect their purchasing power against the devaluation of the national currency.
