Egypt sells $38.5 mln at forex auction May 29th 2013, 10:20 CAIRO | Wed May 29, 2013 6:20am EDT CAIRO May 29 (Reuters) - Egypt's central bank sold $38.5 million to banks in a foreign exchange auction on Wednesday, with the cut-off price weakening to 6.9731 Egyptian pounds to the dollar from 6.972 at Monday's auction.
