The Pakistani rupee (PKR) continued its upward momentum against the US Dollar (USD) for the 35th consecutive day on Wednesday, though its pace of appreciation has slowed significantly. The currency inched up by just 0.0001% day-on-day, closing at Rs. 280.77 after a marginal gain of Rs. 0.0028 in the interbank market.
According to market analysts, the rupee’s steady trend reflects improved supply of foreign exchange and consistent remittances, though traders warn the upward run could lose steam amid global dollar strength.
On a fiscal year-to-date basis, the PKR has appreciated 1.12% against the greenback. However, it weakened against most other major currencies including the Euro, Pound, Australian Dollar, and Canadian Dollar, while remaining stable against the UAE Dirham and Saudi Riyal.
An exchange dealer said,
“The rupee’s strength shows market stability, but the next few weeks will depend on import demand and IMF-led fiscal discipline.”
