The new Israeli shekel has recovered from multiyear low in the wake of Hamas' attack in the country, but the war is still weighing heavily on the Israeli economy (Yahoo [Bloomberg], US News & World Report). The question will be suspended on 15 August 2024 and the outcome determined using data as reported in the US by Trading Economics (Trading Economics, set to "6M"). On 9 May 2024, the closing value was 3.72295.
