🧭 Key drivers

- Risk/commodities: US safe-haven demand persists amid geopolitical tensions, supporting USD, while Egyptian economic outlook remains stable.
- Global factors: Market risk sentiment dominates, with US economic resilience bolstering safe-haven flows and influencing currency movements.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A global risk-off flare or USSafe-haven inflows could strengthen USD, pushing USD/EGP higher.
- Downside risk: Easing geopolitical tensions or a shift towards risk appetite could further weaken USD/EGP.
