The USD to PKR exchange rate moved slightly in Pakistan’s favor on Friday as the Pakistani rupee extended its winning streak to 81 consecutive sessions against the US Dollar, closing at 279.95 in the interbank market after gaining one paisa. The rupee’s marginal appreciation against the US Dollar (USD to PKR) reflects continued stability in the foreign exchange market. Currency dealers attribute this trend to controlled import payments, improved dollar liquidity, and tight monitoring by financial authorities. Although the daily gain was small, maintaining a positive close for over 80 sessions is significant for market confidence. Alongside its strength against the dollar, the rupee performed well against several major global currencies. It posted notable gains against the British Pound and Euro, while showing mixed movement against the Australian Dollar, Chinese Yuan, and Saudi Riyal.
