What mattered
The leading monitored corridors moved in opposite directions this week. The rate history shows the pattern, but does not establish the macro cause. Moves above 1% are worth tracking for confirmation in the next 7-day window.
What to watch next
Does timing matter on USD/EGP? More than in a quiet week. The 1.5% move is a developing trend — not large enough to call a sustained trend, but meaningful enough to make now a reasonable time to compare providers.
