The US dollar surged against the Pakistani rupee in the open market on Monday, with a selling price of 305 rupees. This reflects the growing demand for US currency in the open market.
The US dollar rose again against the Pakistani rupee. This increase in value was observed on the first working day of the week.
On the other hand, the value of the dollar is also on an upward trend in the interbank market where financial institutions trade. The Pakistani rupee fell 0.32 rupees against the US dollar.
This decline reflects the relative depreciation of the rupee compared to the US currency.
The main reason for the surge in dollar value is believed to be the high demand and limited supply of dollars in the market, dealers said.
Currency dealers have seen a significant increase in demand for dollars, while supply remains relatively low.
