以色列资产全线下滑，因该国势均力敌的选举似乎指向僵局，各党派均无明确组阁路径。
Israeli assets slid across the board after the country’s tight election appeared to point to a stalemate, with none of the parties having a clear path toward forming a government.
谢克尔兑美元贬值约 1%，为两周来最大单日跌幅，也是周三全球表现最差的货币之一。特拉维夫基准股指下跌 2.7%，有望创下自 6 月以来最大单日跌幅。以色列工人银行股价下跌约 4%，凤凰金融有限公司股价暴跌逾 5%。
The shekel depreciated about 1% against the dollar, its biggest intraday loss in two weeks and one of the worst currency losses globally on Wednesday. The benchmark stock index in Tel Aviv was down 2.7%, heading for its biggest decline since June. Bank Hapoalim BN fell about 4% and Phoenix Financial Ltd. slumped more than 5%.
总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在该国胶着的选举中略微领先反对党领袖加迪·艾森科特，但仅统计了半数选票，双方均表示有信心成为下一任领导人。任何新政府的组成可能需要数周才能最终确定。
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was edging past opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot in the country’s tight election, but with only half the votes counted both expressed confidence they would be the next leader. The makeup of any new government may take weeks to finalize.
ITC Markets 高级外汇分析师 Piotr Matys 表示，谢克尔的走势“意味着市场失望，因为艾森科特领导的阵营未能对亲内塔尼亚胡阵营造成决定性打击”。“以色列可能面临一段紧张的政治争执期。”以色列美元债券表现也跑输新兴市场和地区同类债券。据彭博汇编数据，2036 年 1 月到期的 20 亿美元债券收益率升至 5.9%，终结了连续一周的下跌。
The move in the shekel “implies that the market is disappointed that the Eisenkot-led bloc was not able to deliver a decisive blow to the pro-Netanyahu bloc,” said Piotr Matys, senior foreign-exchange analyst at ITC Markets. “Israel could be facing a period of tense political bickering.”Israel’s dollar bonds also underperformed emerging-market and regional peers. The yield on $2 billion in bonds with January 2036 maturity rose to 5.9%, halting a week of decreases, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
