USD/ILS is trading close to recent highs around 3.0019, supported by risk-off sentiment and US interest rate hike expectations. The pair remains near its 60-day high and above the 3-month average, indicating a sustained upside. Near-term conditions suggest the pair could find support around current levels if risk aversion persists.
💸 Transfer implications

- Travellers: buying Israeli Shekel (ILS) cash or loading currency cards might face less favourable exchange rates.
- Businesses: paying overseas ILS invoices with USD could see a boost in cost-effectiveness.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: US interest rate hike expectations support USD versus ILS.
- Risk/commodities: Elevated risk aversion globally boosts safe-haven demand for USD.
- Global factors: US risk aversion driven by broader global uncertainties is the dominant influence.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A further rise in US bond yields or increased global risk aversion could strengthen USD/ILS.
- Downside risk: A sudden easing of risk-off sentiment or stabilization in US interest rate outlooks could cap gains.
BER suggests shopping around for the lowest margin provider may help reduce overall transfer costs, especially if exchange conditions turn less favourable.
