The Israeli shekel slightly weakened against the U.S. dollar on Thursday as the dollar amounted to NIS 3.12, after hitting a 25-year high earlier in the week.

The shekel had reached a peak at NIS 3.08 against the dollar before the Bank of Israel intervened and purchased foreign currency to weaken it.

Levin said the rise in inflation in the United States could lead to a decision to increase interest rates, which would likely strengthen the dollar.

However, she added, “the Bank of Israel also sees inflation as temporary, and in its estimation, the rate will remain low for a long time.”
