The Pakistani rupee (PKR) continued its upward momentum against the US dollar, ending Wednesday in positive territory for the 203rd consecutive trading session.

According to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the rupee closed at Rs. 277.9139 per US dollar, strengthening by one paisa from the previous close of Rs. 277.9210.

The local currency has now maintained an uninterrupted appreciation streak against the greenback since December 25, 2025, reflecting sustained stability in the interbank market.
