USD to PKR Today: Rupee Extends 82-Day Winning Streak Against Dollar

USD to PKR remained stable as the Pakistani rupee continued its remarkable run, closing stronger against the US dollar for the 82nd consecutive trading day. On Monday, the rupee appreciated by three paisas in the interbank market, ending the session at PKR 279.92 per dollar, reflecting sustained confidence in Pakistan’s currency management and improved market discipline.

According to interbank data, the rupee’s steady gains highlight controlled dollar demand and tighter monitoring of the foreign exchange market. Currency dealers noted that consistent inflows and regulatory oversight have helped keep volatility in check, supporting the local unit despite global uncertainties.

“The rupee’s extended stability shows better alignment between demand and supply of foreign exchange,” a currency market expert said, adding that importer demand has remained manageable.

Over the past several months, the PKR has benefited from stricter checks on speculation, improved remittance flows, and a relatively balanced current account position. While global currencies remain sensitive to geopolitical and economic developments, Pakistan’s interbank market has largely avoided sharp swings, allowing the rupee to post incremental daily gains.

Besides the US dollar, the rupee showed mixed performance against other global currencies. It gained against the British Pound and Australian Dollar, while ending slightly weaker against the UAE Dirham. The Saudi Riyal also saw marginal gains in favor of the PKR.
