The Pakistani rupee recorded a mixed trend against key international currencies during open market trading, as foreign inflows, trade payments, and overseas employment links shaped demand.
The US Dollar was traded at Rs 281.10 on the buying side and Rs 283.20 on the selling side, reflecting steady demand for import settlements and external payments.
The Saudi Riyal, closely tied to Pakistani workers in the Kingdom, stood at Rs 74.80 buying and Rs 75.35 selling. Remittances from Saudi Arabia continued supporting household incomes across Pakistan.
The UAE Dirham followed a similar pattern, quoted at Rs 76.60 for buying and Rs 77.40 for selling. The UAE remained a major source of employment and financial support for Pakistani families.
The Omani Riyal was exchanged at Rs 728.10 buying and Rs 738.10 selling, maintaining its position as one of the highest-valued currencies in the open market.
Among Western currencies, the British Pound traded at Rs 376.10 buying and Rs 379.60 selling, while the Canadian Dollar stood at Rs 202.00 buying and Rs 205.00 selling.
Currency analysts said the rupee’s movement reflected a balance between external obligations and steady remittance inflows, keeping the market largely stable during the session.
