The exchange rate of the Egyptian pound fell against the dollar on Monday, while Egyptian dollar bonds issued by the government fell.
This came in the wake of demonstrations in Egyptian governorates demanding the departure of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.
In the futures contract, the Egyptian pound weakened against the US dollar. The "one-year" contracts are priced at 18.36 pounds to the dollar, while the spot rate is 16.26 pounds.
Bonds fell 20 cents by 3.1 cents to 106.1 cents in the dollar, the lowest level in a month, and 2040 issues fell 1.9 cents to 96.7 cents in the dollar, according to Refinitiv data.
In the same context, the Egyptian stock market continued its decline for the second day in a row, where it started trading on Monday on a collective decline, amid sales to foreign investors in exchange for local and Arab purchases, according to Mubasher Info website.
The EGX 30 and EGX 100 lost around 1.5% in trading.
On Sunday, both indices fell by the largest percentage in transactions in years.
The index of leading stocks fell 5.3%, marking the largest one-day decline since mid-2016 with all shares falling.
The broader index, the EGX 100, fell 5.7%, the biggest one-day drop since November 2012. Trading halted for half an hour due to the index's first move of 5% since 2016.
