USD to PKR remained largely stable on Monday as the Pakistani rupee edged up for the 77th consecutive session against the US dollar, highlighting continued currency management and easing market pressure. The rupee closed at PKR 280.01 per USD, gaining one paisa in interbank trade, according to official market data.

This rare winning streak reflects improved dollar liquidity, controlled import demand, and tighter monitoring by financial authorities. However, while the rupee stayed firm against the dollar, it lost ground against most other major global currencies, indicating mixed performance amid shifting international exchange trends.

The local unit has now hovered close to the psychological 280 level for several sessions, a sign of short-term stability in the USD to PKR rate. Currency dealers say sustained inflows, better export receipts, and limited speculative activity have helped keep the rupee steady.

A senior forex trader noted, “The rupee’s consistency against the dollar shows confidence, but pressure from stronger global currencies remains visible.”

Despite gains versus the US dollar, the rupee weakened against the euro, pound sterling, and Australian dollar. It recorded notable losses of 67 paisas against GBP and 83 paisas against AUD, largely due to international currency movements rather than domestic factors.

Analysts believe the USD to PKR rate may remain range-bound in the near term if current economic conditions persist. However, global interest rate expectations and import payment cycles could influence future movements.
