# The Egyptian pound regains strength against the dollar, ending its losing streak

> The US dollar fell below 54 Egyptian pounds at most major banks on November 5, extending the Egyptian pound’s gains for a second consecutive session. At the National Bank of Egypt, the dollar closed at 53.87 pounds to buy and 53.97 to sell, down 80 piasters, or about 1.46%, from earlier levels that day; the article links the move partly to broad dollar weakness following the US midterm elections.

## Why it matters

A stronger Egyptian pound can reduce the local-currency cost of imported feed and commodities. Broader dollar weakness is also relevant to dollar-priced imports, though the article reports no feed-specific purchasing change.
