The Egyptian pound weakened on Sunday, with the dollar rising above EGP 54 in local banks and gaining as much as 45 piastres. Analysts linked the move to dollar strength, expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike and strong US employment data; the report also cited foreign investor outflows and geopolitical risks as factors behind the pound’s earlier October decline.
A weaker pound makes imported feed and agricultural inputs more expensive for Egyptian buyers. The currency move adds cost pressure, but no specific commodity-price changes are reported.
