The average selling value of the euro and U.S. dollar in Cuba's informal market has decreased this Tuesday, marking the second consecutive day of decline for the American currency. The dollar opened this Tuesday valued at 353 pesos, five pesos less than the previous day, when it had already dropped from 360 to 358.

In the case of the European currency, the decline is also five units, falling from 370 to 365 CUP. However, the price drop for both currencies is far from the volatility seen a few weeks ago, when they could drop 20 to 30 pesos in a single day. The Freely Convertible Currency (MLC), on the other hand, remains at its previous day's value of 305 CUP.
