Rupee at Its Lowest in Weeks Against the US Dollar After Another Big Drop


Yesterday saw PKR at a four-week low against the USD since Rs. 154.58 to the USD on March 26, 2021. Today’s improvement has put the PKR back in a strong position against the USD.

Analysts believe that amid the higher dollar demand from importers, the local unit is likely to remain under pressure because of import payments. Multinational firms are also seeking the greenback for repatriation of profits and dividends, which is also putting pressure on the local unit.

With respect to other major currencies as well, today brought a better outlook for the local unit. The PKR posted blanket gains against all major currencies in the interbank currency market.
