The informal dollar closes Sunday at 921 pesos, 12 below Saturday, according to CiberCuba's index
The dollar and the euro both fell on Cuba's informal currency market at Sunday's close, November 8, 2026, while the MLC rose slightly, according to the index CiberCuba builds from buy-and-sell posts on Telegram and Facebook.
The U.S. dollar was quoted at 921 Cuban pesos (CUP) at Sunday's close, with a 911 CUP buying price and a 930 CUP selling price: a drop of 12 pesos from the previous session, when the average stood at 933 CUP, according to CiberCuba.
The euro closed at around 997 CUP, with a range of 980 CUP buying and 1,014 CUP selling, down 13 pesos from 1,010 CUP in the previous session. It is 76 pesos above the dollar.
The MLC stood at around 683 CUP, with 636 CUP buying and 729 CUP selling, 6 pesos above the 677 CUP of the day before. CiberCuba warns that the figure is only indicative because of the low volume of transactions, and notes that over the past month the MLC has swung between a low of 496 CUP and a high of 795 CUP.
Over the week, the dollar has gained 25.5 pesos from 895 CUP seven days ago, and the euro 14.5 pesos from 983 CUP. The dollar's high over the past 30 days was 940 CUP and the euro's was the 1,010 CUP recorded on Saturday.
The Central Bank of Cuba's official rate in Segment III was set this Sunday at 800 CUP per dollar and 892 CUP per euro, a gap of more than 121 pesos against the informal market for the dollar and more than 105 for the euro. Over the past month the official dollar rose from 698 to 800 CUP and the euro from 782 to 892 CUP.
CiberCuba's index is built from automated analysis of buy-and-sell posts in Telegram and Facebook groups, discards outlying offers and weights each transaction by how recent it is. The outlet itself warns that the 30-day comparison may partly reflect adjustments to the index's methodology, and that the article was generated or edited with the help of artificial intelligence and reviewed by an editor before publication.
