Dollar Surges Against Shekel, Nearing 3.07 Amid Broader Currency Weakness

The story · English

The U.S. dollar reached 3.0660 Israeli shekels on September 28, 2026, marking a daily increase of 1.088% according to representative rates from the Bank of Israel. This rise reflects a broader trend of the shekel weakening against major currencies in the latest trading session.

The Euro also saw a significant jump, climbing to 3.4877 shekels, a daily gain of 0.958%, bringing it close to the 3.50 shekel mark. The British pound experienced the largest daily appreciation, reaching 4.0684 shekels, up 1.34% in a single day.

The Bank of Israel publishes these representative exchange rates on official trading days as a benchmark for financial transactions. Actual rates at commercial banks and exchange bureaus may differ due to buy and sell margins.
