What is USD/ILS?
The rate at which one US dollar trades against the Israeli shekel. The Bank of Israel publishes an official representative rate daily, but the rate fluctuates every second on the international FX market.
How it affects you
Every imported product, electronics, cars, much of supermarket food, depends on the dollar rate. When the dollar rises, local prices follow. Every overseas trip, every Netflix or AWS subscription, every App Store app is priced in dollars.
How to read this number
A rate of 3.5 NIS/USD is considered a "strong" shekel; 4.0 NIS or higher is "weak". The rate is driven by BOI policy, the US economy, global sentiment, and geopolitics.
