There is nothing official about this market.... what drives the price of the Dollar in Venezuela, or what drove the price of the DM in East Berlin.... or the price for American made Cigarettes during WWII.....? This is a "black" market, with all the peculiarities that this involves... there is very little that is transparent about markets with these characteristics. Demand and Supply is at work, but there are other factors and.... the Devil is in the details.....
