US Dollar Falls to Lowest Level Since April 2022
H-Tayea The US dollar fell sharply on Thursday, with the Dollar Index declining by 0.6% to 97.86 points, its lowest level since April 2022. The drop signals mounting pressure on the American currency amid escalating geopolitical tensions and growing global trade concerns, according to Al Arabiya. The decline occurred during a broad market retreat from risk assets, with the dollar hitting its lowest point so far in 2025, alongside a downturn in major US stock indices from recent record highs. Investors, unsettled by rising instability in the Middle East and renewed uncertainty in U.S.-China trade relations, shifted their capital toward safe-haven assets such as gold and government bonds. The dollar's slide deepened following remarks by US President Donald Trump, who told reporters he plans to send notices to trade partners outlining new tariff rates within the next two weeks. This comes as the 90-day temporary pause on reciprocal tariffs nears its expiration next month. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Minister Abdelatty praised the positive developments witnessed in Egyptian-Norwegian relations on both the political and economic levels, noting the meetings and communications that have taken place between the President of the Republic and the Norwegian Prime Minister, most recently the President's visit to Norway in December 2024. Minister Abdelatty also welcomed the convening of a round of political consultations between the two countries in activation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed during the presidential visit, expressing aspiration to maintain the regularity of political consultations at all levels to elevate the level of bilateral relations. Minister Abdelatty further welcomed the economic cooperation between the two countries, particularly in the field of renewable energy, expressing anticipation for the continuation of the implementation of the projects of the Norwegian company Scatec in Egypt and the commencement of new projects that would contribute to increasing Norwegian investments in Egypt. He also referred to the necessity of enhancing trade exchange between the two countries, highlighting the importance of encouraging the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation and the Norwegian Investment Fund for Developing Countries to explore the possibility of increasing their financing of Norwegian companies operating in Egypt and financing new companies in the fields of clean energy and aquaculture to benefit from the recent economic reforms in Egypt. Minister Abdelatty expressed keenness on tripartite cooperation in Africa, in light of Norway's issuance of a special African strategy in August 2024. The two ministers exchanged views on several regional issues, most importantly the situation in the Gaza Strip. Minister Abdelatty valued Norway's supportive stance of the rights of the Palestinian people and its advocacy of the principles of international law. He reviewed the efforts undertaken by Egypt to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and to ensure the entry of humanitarian aid to alleviate the severity of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, affirming the need to consolidate international efforts to enable the Palestinian people to obtain their legitimate rights, foremost of which is the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital. The meeting also touched upon the situation in Sudan, where Minister Abdelatty affirmed Egypt's supportive position of preserving Sudan's unity, stability, and national institutions. Cooperation with Scatec In a separate meeting, Abdelatty, met on Wednesday, June 11, with the CEO of the Norwegian company Scatec, Terje Pilskog. Minister Abdelatty emphasized the importance of building upon the outcomes of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's visit to Norway in December 2024 and strengthen cooperation with the Norwegian company Scatec. He affirmed Egypt's full support for the company's projects in Egypt, which contribute to enhancing trade and investment relations between Egypt and Norway, expressing aspiration to increase the company's investment volume in Egypt and to implement the company's project to export clean electricity to Europe. Minister Abdelatty also reviewed the policies adopted by Egypt to empower the private sector and attract foreign direct investment, affirming Egypt's interest in supporting foreign companies operating in Egypt, including Scatec, whose projects align with the Egyptian state's direction towards transitioning to a green economy and transforming Egypt into a global hub for the production of green hydrogen. Minister Abdelatty further pointed to the aspiration for a trilateral cooperation with the Norwegian company in Africa to implement development projects, particularly in the field of renewable energy.
