Pakistan’s open market is continuing to show moderate currency fluctuations today as major global currencies are trading within stable ranges. Demand is largely coming from overseas remittances, education payments, and travel requirements.
The US Dollar is leading the market at Rs280.55 buying and Rs282.25 selling, and importers are relying heavily on the greenback for international transactions.
The Pound Sterling is commanding a higher price of Rs384.67 for buying and Rs388.18 for selling, reflecting strong value for remittance receivers in Pakistan.
Among Gulf currencies, steady demand is keeping the Saudi Riyal at Rs74.92–75.30 and the UAE Dirham at Rs76.55–77.20, as workers in the Middle East continue transferring earnings to their families.
The Canadian Dollar is trading at Rs204.37 buying and Rs207.90 selling, while the Omani Riyal remains one of the most valuable currencies at Rs728.60 buying and Rs738.13 selling, offering substantial rupee returns.
Financial observers note that these inflows are strengthening household finances across the country. The open market is operating smoothly, and currency rates are adjusting gradually without sharp volatility.
