PKR Rises for 44th Day Against USD, Weakens Against Euro and Pound

The Pakistani rupee continued its upward trend against the US Dollar, closing in green for the 44th consecutive day as the interbank market settled at Rs280.56, gaining one paisa. The slight rise reflects the currency’s ongoing stability, marking a 1.16% gain in FY25-to-date, even as it faced pressure against several global currencies.

This streak follows weeks of controlled inflows, improved sentiment, and tighter monitoring of forex markets, helping the PKR maintain its position against the US Dollar despite global volatility.

However, the rupee weakened against most other major currencies. It slipped Rs1.53 against the Euro and Rs1.81 against the British Pound, while losing Rs1.41 against the Australian Dollar and 68 paisas against the Canadian Dollar. It stayed almost flat against the UAE Dirham and saw a marginal gain against the Saudi Riyal.

A senior currency dealer said,

“The rupee’s consistent dollar stability is due to improved central bank management, but weakness against global majors reflects ongoing global currency fluctuations.”
