# Egyptian Pound Slips Past 54 per Dollar on Fed Rate Hike Bets

> 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.
