The Pakistani Rupee (PKR) opened today’s trading session under mild pressure against the US Dollar (USD). Early interbank activity indicates a softer Rupee, while open-market figures show cautious demand from importers and currency traders. Markets are keeping a close eye on domestic forex reserves and any signals from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).

📈 Morning Market Analysis:
- Interbank Stability: A tight spread of just PKR 0.60 in formal channels suggests minimal early volatility and limited market-reactivity.
- Open Market Premium: A wider PKR 1.50 spread highlights sustained USD demand in informal sectors—possibly led by import requirements or liquidity constraints.
- Watchpoints: Traders will closely monitor any SBP communications, updates on forex reserves, and global trends like oil prices or US Fed signals.
- Expected Trading Range: Without major headlines, expect PKR to trade in a PKR 280.0–283.0 corridor across both interbank and open-market segments.
