Analysts noted that the rupee’s stability came amid cautious optimism in the market. They argued that Pakistan’s external account pressures, including debt repayments and import bills, could still weigh heavily on the currency. Meanwhile, remittances from overseas Pakistanis and ongoing IMF commitments were expected to provide some support.
Other key exchange rates highlighted the rupee’s struggle against stronger currencies. The Canadian dollar traded between Rs 205 and Rs 210, the Australian dollar between Rs 184.1 and Rs 189.75, and the Chinese yuan hovered at Rs 39. The Kuwaiti dinar and Omani riyal, both historically strong, were valued at Rs 918.35 and Rs 736.70, respectively.
