USD to PKR Slips as GBP Gains; AED and SAR Mixed – Jan 19, 2026
The Pakistani Rupee (PKR) showed mixed performance against major international and regional currencies on Monday, as cautious sentiment prevailed in the local foreign exchange market.
The US Dollar (USD) weakened slightly against the PKR during interbank trading. The dollar was quoted around PKR 280.05 on the selling side, down by 0.10 points, while the day’s range remained between PKR 279.85 and 280.00. Dealers attributed the marginal decline to limited demand and balanced inflows.
The British Pound (GBP) strengthened modestly against the rupee, trading near 1.3406, registering a positive move during the session. The gain reflected mild improvement in global sterling sentiment amid stable dollar movement.
Among Gulf currencies, the UAE Dirham (AED) edged lower against the PKR, trading around 3.6735, while the Saudi Riyal (SAR) remained largely unchanged near 3.7501, continuing to show stability due to its peg with the US Dollar.
Market participants noted that PKR movements remained range-bound, with traders closely watching global economic developments and regional currency trends for further direction.
