- Dominant driver: 🌍 Global risk sentiment
- 3-month trend: ⚪ Range-bound
USD/ILS is trading close to 90-day lows around 3.0339, well below its 3-month average. The pair is supported by safe-haven bid due to risk-off sentiment. Near-term conditions may remain supported by these risk conditions, but the pair could face pressure if global risk appetite improves.
💸 Transfer implications

- Travellers: buying Israeli New Shekel (ILS) cash or loading cards may see limited support for more advantageous rates.
- Businesses: paying overseas invoices in Israeli New Shekel (ILS) with US Dollars might encounter less favourable conversion conditions.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: The US dollar’s yield advantage is narrowing, but no clear policy change has emerged.
- Risk/commodities: Global risk-off sentiment supports safe-haven currencies, including USD.
- Global factors: Signs of risk aversion dominate, influencing flows into USD and pressured risk-sensitive FX.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A shift back toward risk-on could reduce safe-haven flows, weakening USD/ILS.
- Downside risk: Improving risk sentiment could lead to further decline in the pair, making USD less supported.
