Pakistan’s open market currency situation on June 10, 2026, reflects an economic scenario where there is apparent stability, but internal pressures and supply chain weaknesses are still evident.
The US dollar ranged between Rs 278.25 for buying and Rs 279.40 for selling in the open market. Although this difference may seem insignificant, according to experts, this spread reflects the “underlined pressure” in the market, where demand is constantly present but supply is not fully balanced.
The British pound continued to trade between Rs 373.07 and Rs 377.60, reflecting import costs and external financial pressures. The euro also remained above Rs 321, which is increasing import pressure on Pakistan due to the strong currency trend in the European market.
Gulf currencies have further increased in importance in the open market. The stable prices of the Saudi riyal and the Emirati dirham are evidence that a large part of Pakistan’s economy is linked to remittances and oil imports. The sale of the dirham reaching Rs 76.75 is an important signal for both the general consumer and the business community.
The slight difference in the value of the Chinese yuan indicates continuity in Pakistan-China trade activities, but the imbalance in trade volume is still a major problem. Similarly, the prices of the Canadian and Australian dollars are linked to the stability of the global commodity market.
According to economic analysts, the real problem is not the rate but “spread economics”, that is, the widening difference between buying and selling, which is considered a sign of uncertainty in the market.
If this trend continues, there may be a further gap between the open market and interbank rates in the coming months, which could again increase pressure on the rupee.
