Shekel continues to trade at strongest levels against dollar since 2023
The shekel continues to trade at its strongest levels against the dollar since early 2023, before the government tried to push through its judicial reform and then later in the year the outbreak of the war after Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel.
Poria Financial Planning chairman Or Poria said, “The leading currencies are trading stably and are near annual weak rates against the shekel, due to progress in phase one of the hostage deal. The dollar is trading at the lower limit of the NIS 3.55-3.85/$ range recorded over the past year, with the most notable developments in the foreign exchange market in recent weeks being the strengthening of the euro by about 2% and sterling by about 4% against the dollar.”
