Though a small shift, it reflects a tug of war between currency stability and economic pressure.

In the open market, the dollar remained steady, with buying and selling rates recorded at Rs285 and Rs285.50 respectively, according to the Forex Association of Pakistan (FAP).

Meanwhile, the Euro lost Rs0.19, settling at Rs327.00 compared to the earlier Rs327.19, as per the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) — showing slight weakness against the Rupee.

Interestingly, the Japanese Yen gained 01 paisa, now standing at Rs1.91, signaling cautious recovery. On the other hand, the British Pound saw a notable rise of Rs0.69, closing at Rs378.19, up from Rs377.50, hinting at a stronger stance amid global fluctuations.

The Emirates Dirham and Saudi Riyal both dipped slightly by 03 paisa, ending the day at Rs77.03 and Rs75.42 respectively, maintaining relative consistency amid mild interbank shifts.

While these fluctuations may seem minimal, they reveal deeper undercurrents in Pakistan’s forex market — from import/export dynamics to geopolitical triggers and investor sentiment. The slight gain in the Rupee could offer momentary relief, but the Dollar’s hold on the open market still reflects economic caution.
