Rupee gains against top currencies continued on Monday as the Pakistani currency closed stronger against the US Dollar. The local currency maintained its positive trend for the 128th straight session in the interbank market.
The rupee settled at 279.16 against the dollar. It gained four paisas during the day. Market activity remained stable, showing growing confidence among traders.
Oil Meetings in Islamabad Support Market Sentiment
Experts say rupee gains against top currencies are linked to ongoing oil-related meetings in Islamabad. These discussions have helped stabilize expectations in the financial market.
Oil prices in the global market remained within last week’s range. Rates stayed between $98 and $116 per barrel. This stability has reduced pressure on the rupee.
Traders believe the market is cooling down as international currencies face pressure due to global political developments.
Strong Performance Against Major Currencies
Rupee gains against top currencies were also visible against other global currencies.
The rupee gained Rs. 2.76 against the British Pound and Rs. 1.56 against the Euro. This shows improved strength in the local currency.
It also increased by Rs. 2.42 against the Australian Dollar and Rs. 1.20 against the Canadian Dollar. These gains reflect a broader recovery trend.
Minor Gains Against Regional Currencies
Rupee gains against top currencies included small increases against regional currencies as well.
The rupee gained one paisa against the UAE Dirham and three paisas against the Saudi Riyal. Though small, these gains indicate steady improvement.
