Dominant driver🌍 Global risk sentiment
3-month trend⚪ Range-bound
Currently, EUR/ILS is trading close to recent highs within its 3-month range, supported by heightened risk aversion from Middle East tensions. The pair has experienced volatility, finding support around the upper end of its recent range. Near-term conditions suggest it may remain supported but could face downward pressure if risk sentiment shifts or geopolitical tensions ease.
💸 Transfer implications
- Expats: sending money to Israel might find current levels slightly less favourable than recent support levels.
- Travellers: buying Israeli New Shekel (ILS) may be getting a relatively weaker euro, making cash purchases less advantageous.
- Businesses: paying overseas ILS invoices should note that the euro could weaken further if risk aversion persists.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: The Bank of Israel's recent rate cut supports safe-haven demand for the shekel, influencing the rate gap.
- Risk/commodities: Elevated geopolitical tensions increase risk-off sentiment, supporting safe-haven currencies.
- Global factors: Heightened risk aversion due to Middle East tensions is driving demand for safe currencies, pressuring euro and ILS.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: Resolution of Middle East tensions or easing geopolitical concerns could boost the euro.
- Downside risk: If risk aversion deepens or geopolitical tensions escalate further, the pair might weaken more.
