The Israeli shekel weakened significantly against the U.S. dollar, reaching 3.209 shekels per dollar on the morning of November 6, its highest point since December 2025. This development follows a sharp decline on Wall Street, attributed to increased Democratic influence in the U.S. Congress, which has impacted global stock markets. Financial experts explain that the connection between the Wall Street downturn and the shekel's weakening is primarily due to a financial mechanism known as risk hedging. Israeli pension funds and insurance companies hold substantial investments in U.S. assets, such as stocks and S&P 500 index funds. When these markets fall, the dollar value of these assets decreases. To mitigate volatility, investors adjust their dollar hedging strategies, which involves buying dollars to prevent further losses. Given the ongoing panic in financial markets, experts anticipate a continued strengthening of the dollar.
