Executive summary
The Argentine peso collapsed to near-record levels in October 2025, when several data series show USD/ARS peaking between about 1,438 and 1,491 pesos per dollar; Exchange-Rates and Wise record the high on October 24–25, 2025 at about 1,489–1,491 ARS/USD [1] [2]. Current mid‑December 2025 market quotes put the rate around 1,440–1,441 ARS per USD (TradingEconomics and Exchange‑Rates) [3] [1].
1. October’s peak: what happened and how high the dollar went
October 2025 was the nadir for the peso: several data providers place the highest daily USD/ARS in the last year on October 24–25, 2025 — Exchange‑Rates reports 1,489.51 ARS/USD on October 24 [4] and Wise reports 1,491.75 ARS/USD on October 25 [2]. Other aggregates show October’s monthly maximum around 1,438.14 ARS/USD (TheGlobalEconomy) depending on data source and whether one cites end‑of‑month, daily peak, or average figures [5].
2. Where the rate stands now (mid‑December 2025)
Current market quotes in mid‑December 2025 place the USD/ARS roughly at 1,440.7–1,440.8 ARS per USD: TradingEconomics reports 1,440.7625 on December 12, 2025 [3] and Exchange‑Rates shows 1,440.75 as of December 14, 2025 [1]. That means the rate in mid‑December is a little below the late‑October intraday extremes recorded by some sources but still within the same stressed range [3] [1].
3. How different sources measure “October” and why numbers vary
Data providers report different figures because they may use intraday highs, end‑of‑month closing rates, or monthly averages. For example, TheGlobalEconomy cites a maximum of 1,438.1402 ARS/USD in October 2025 (a series maximum for their dataset) while Exchange‑Rates and Wise record higher single‑day peaks on October 24–25 [5] [4] [2]. These methodological differences explain why a reader will see a range rather than a single agreed number for “October.”
4. Policy context that shaped October’s break
By April 14, 2025 Argentina had set an official currency band of 1,000–1,400 ARS per USD as part of an IMF arrangement; that band was breached in September and October 2025, prompting interventions by the central bank and the U.S. Treasury, according to reporting aggregated on Wikipedia [6]. TradingEconomics also ties volatility in late October to political events (midterm elections) and market concern about fiscal credibility and external obligations [3]. These policy moves and market reactions explain the intensity of October’s moves [6] [3].
5. Trend view: depreciation in 2025 and the 12‑month picture
Data aggregators show a large weakening of the peso in 2025: TradingEconomics notes the peso is down about 41.53% over the last 12 months as of December 12, 2025 [3], and Exchange‑Rates reports the USD/ARS rate was up roughly 39.17% for 2025 with a 2025 average around 1,230 ARS/USD [7]. These numbers confirm that October’s spike was part of a broader, severe depreciation trend in 2025 [3] [7].
6. Practical takeaway for your comparison question
If you want a single comparison: use an intraday peak to show the worst of October (about 1,489–1,492 ARS/USD on Oct. 24–25 per Exchange‑Rates and Wise) and compare that to the mid‑December 2025 quote around 1,440.7 ARS/USD [4] [2] [1] [3]. If you prefer conservative monthly measures, cite the October monthly high near 1,438 ARS/USD and the mid‑December 1,440 ARS/USD level — which shows parity between the month’s extreme and current levels depending on the source chosen [5] [1].
Limits, disagreements and what’s not in the reporting
Sources disagree on exact daily peaks and whether to present end‑of‑month, intraday or average figures; that explains the roughly 1–50 ARS/USD range between providers [5] [4] [2]. Available sources do not mention the precise retail cash or parallel (blue) market rate for every day in October versus today — they mainly report official or market quotes and aggregated histories [3] [1] [2]. If you need a single definitive rate for legal or accounting purposes, use an exchange provider or a central bank closing rate and cite their methodology.
