The Israeli shekel has weakened against foreign currencies, reversing an earlier trend, following the release of exit poll results and the commencement of vote counting in the recent elections. Throughout election day, the dollar had weakened, reaching a low of 3.02 shekels. However, with the publication of exit polls and, more significantly, the actual vote tallies from polling stations, the U.S. dollar began to strengthen. Since its low point yesterday, the dollar has climbed approximately 2%, and is currently trading at around 3.08 shekels, nearly matching the representative rate set on Monday of 3.078 shekels. The Euro has also strengthened against the shekel, trading at 3.43 shekels, close to Monday's representative rate of 3.4462 shekels.
