BUENOS AIRES: Argentine stocks closed up 6.45 percent Monday after President Mauricio Macri's center-right government imposed currency controls at the weekend to stabilize a deepening financial crisis.

The currency controls were imposed in part to bolster the peso, which also closed 5.38 percent higher to trade at 58.41 to the dollar.
