The US dollar has seriously strengthened its positions against the European currency and the British pound amid the tensions created by the effects of growing trade tensions between the US and China.

According to the report of the US Department of Commerce, wholesale companies in the United States resumed their stocks at a faster rate in May.

Sales in wholesale trade in May grew by 11.8% compared to the same period of the previous year.
