MIDEAST STOCKS-Egypt surges on expectations of currency devaluation | Reuters:

"Cairo's main stock index rose 2.9 percent on Monday on expectations of a further currency devaluation this fiscal year, while Gulf stock markets closed on a strong footing before the Eid al Fitr holidays.

On Sunday, Tarek Amer, Egypt's central bank governor, was quoted in local papers saying the currency should be a market based one where demand and supply will set the price.

Economists now believe it is inevitable there will be another currency devaluation in the current fiscal year."
