Rupee Crashes Against Big Currencies to End Week

The Pakistani rupee finished the week on a high note against the US Dollar, marking its 273rd consecutive day of gains against the greenback. On Friday, the PKR closed at 276.75 per USD, up one paisa from the previous day's rate. This streak of consistency began on December 25, 2025.

However, the rupee's performance was not uniform against other major currencies. It experienced a setback of Rs. 2.74 against the British Pound, reaching 368.77 per GBP. Similarly, it lost 48 paisas against the Euro, falling to 309.80 per EUR, and 0.48 paisas against the Canadian Dollar, settling at 198.17 per CAD.

Despite these losses, the rupee showed resilience by gaining one paisa each against the UAE Dirham and the Saudi Riyal. The PKR's fluctuation against these currencies ended the week at 75.35 per AED and 73.75 per SAR.
