Working with the USD/ILS series
The shekel's modern history is tech-flow strength punctuated by geopolitical shocks: years of appreciation on Israel's current-account and investment inflows, then abrupt risk repricing — October 2023 pushed the pair to multi-year highs within days before central-bank intervention pulled it back. The series starts end-2016. Event-window behaviour dominates the tails here; a volatility model that hasn't seen the October 2023 window understates them.
