Among Gulf currencies, the Emirates Dirham stayed stable at Rs76.64. Meanwhile, the Saudi Riyal slipped slightly by 02 paisa, closing at Rs75.03.

The Rupee’s gain against the dollar is too small to cheer about, showing that pressure on the currency remains. On the other hand, the Euro and Pound gained noticeable strength, reflecting global currency shifts. The Riyal’s slight dip and stable Dirham suggest mixed movements in Gulf currencies. Traders say the market remains sensitive to international trends, and even small changes can trigger wider expectations.
