The Pakistani rupee extended its winning streak against the US dollar on Thursday, appreciating for the 190th consecutive trading day in the interbank market.

According to the State Bank of Pakistan’s exchange rate data, the rupee closed at Rs. 278.1210 against the dollar, strengthening by 3.27 paisas from the previous close of Rs. 278.1537.

The local currency has maintained its upward trend against the greenback since December 25, 2025.

Among regional currencies, the rupee also posted modest gains against the UAE Dirham (AED) and the Saudi Riyal (SAR), appreciating by 1.51 paisas and 0.87 paisa, respectively.

However, the rupee weakened against most major global currencies. It lost Rs. 1.02 against the Euro (EUR), 57 paisas against the British Pound (GBP), Rs. 1.23 against the Australian Dollar (AUD), 21 paisas against the Canadian Dollar (CAD), 9 paisas against the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), and 2.48 paisas against the Chinese Yuan (CNY).

Despite mixed performance against other international currencies, the rupee continued to hold firm against the US dollar, extending one of its longest sustained appreciation streaks in recent years.
