USD to ILS 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent dollar → shekel forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest US dollar to Israeli new sheqel performance and trends.

 

USD/ILS Outlook: Bearish, as the rate is well below its recent average and near recent lows, pressured by factors affecting both currencies.

Key drivers:

  • Rate gap: The Federal Reserve plans to cut rates with one to two reductions expected, while the Bank of Israel recently lowered its benchmark rate, making the shekel more appealing.
  • Risk/commodities: Ongoing geopolitical tensions, including U.S. military actions, create uncertainty that may hurt the dollar.
  • One macro factor: The Bank of Israel reported a strong GDP growth forecast for 2026 as military tensions ease, boosting the shekel's outlook.

Range: The USD/ILS is likely to drift within the recent range, as it remains near historical lows.

What could change it:

  • Upside risk: A sudden increase in U.S. inflation could lead to a revision of Fed rate cut expectations.
  • Downside risk: Continued strengthening of the shekel driven by improving economic indicators could further weaken the USD.
