```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on April 9 that Jake Hanley from Teucrium Trading stated that grain futures received only limited support from the ceasefire with Iran, as the conflict has already significantly impacted fertilizer supplies. In his report, he noted: “Even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens tomorrow, the corn market still faces a problem that won’t be resolved until at least 2027.” He pointed out that disruptions to shipping through the strait and damage to natural gas facilities in the region will not recover in the short term, and the cost for farmers to obtain fertilizer could rise sharply. Farmers unable to afford the high prices may be forced to ration their limited fertilizer throughout the entire growing season.```

Former Fiat Chrysler Automobiles executive and current BYD Europe business advisor Alfredo Altavilla stated in Paris, France: "We have taken immediate action to establish a local sales network."

Golden Ten Data reported on April 9 that, according to foreign media, insiders say Venezuela is intensifying its sales of US dollars to the private sector to curb the depreciation of the domestic currency, the bolivar, and prevent inflation from spiraling out of control again. According to a person directly familiar with the operation, since March 31, the authorities have sold about $330 million through direct foreign exchange interventions. This resumption of direct intervention—after a pause since mid-December last year—highlights the efforts of the Rodríguez interim government to stabilize the exchange rate. Earlier this year, the launch of a dollar auction mechanism did not go smoothly, with uneven supply putting pressure on the parallel market. According to a report released this week by Ecoanalítica, about 80% of the demand for US dollars has been rejected by the Central Bank of Venezuela without explanation. Ecoanalítica analysts noted in the report: "Official foreign exchange supply is highly concentrated among a few entities, and with demand from small and medium-sized enterprises and individuals unmet, funds are flowing into the parallel market. This situation has widened the gap between the official and market exchange rates." Consulting firm Síntesis Financiera stated that in March, the government also sold more than $1 billion on the official foreign exchange market, setting a monthly record since the system was established in 2019.
