Dollar Stabilizes Near Highest Level in 6 Weeks

The Spanish newspaper “La Razón” reported that trade exchanges between Algeria and Spain increased by 9.1% during the first quarter of the year, as part of a broader trend to compensate for the decline in trade with the United States and China by diversifying trading partners, which contributed to supporting the balance of trade for Spain during the same period.
