The US dollar fell to 54.67 buy and 54.77 sell against the Egyptian pound, below 55 for the first time since October 22. The dollar index dropped 0.58% to about 101.14 after Democrats swept Congress in the midterm elections.
The dollar remains about 4.5% above its early-October level.
A firmer pound against the dollar lowers the local-currency cost of imported feed ingredients for Egypt, though the dollar's broader weakness also supports dollar-priced commodities.
