LONDON, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Israel's international dollar
bonds rallied on Thursday after Israel and Hamas agreed to the
first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan for Gaza.
Longer-dated maturities saw the biggest gains, with bonds
maturing 2043 and after rallying more than 1 cent, Tradeweb data
showed. Israel's 2054 bond enjoyed the biggest gains, up 1.6
cents to be bid at 96.60 cents, its highest level in a year.
Bonds elsewhere in the region showed a more muted reaction.
Egypt's international dollar bonds climbed just over 0.3 cents
for longer-dated maturities, while Lebanon's traded broadly
flat.
Israel's shekel strengthened around 0.5% to 3.2591 to the
dollar, LSEG data showed.
The country's blue-chip stock index rallied 1.6%,
closing in on a record high hit on Sunday.
