The Egyptian pound recovered about 5%, bringing the dollar down to around 53.7 pounds after it had exceeded 56, but goods prices did not fall quickly. Economists cited pricing based on forward exchange rates and earlier dollar highs, ongoing cost pressures, and the time needed for some goods to move through production and sales; annual inflation eased to about 12% in October from 12.8% in September.
A stronger pound can eventually reduce the local cost of imported feed and inputs, but delayed price pass-through means relief for buyers may be gradual. The currency move points to a lower US dollar-to-pound rate, while near-term commodity costs may remain sticky.
