The momentum continued, with the rupee appreciating further against the US dollar in the interbank market. It gained Rs1.04 or 0.37%, reaching a settlement at 280.36 against the USD.

The ongoing strengthening of the rupee has been attributed to the announcement of a staff-level agreement (SLA) between Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) regarding the first review of the Stand-by Arrangement (SBA). This positive development has likely played a role in influencing the currency’s favorable performance in the foreign exchange market.

As the rupee continues its upward trajectory, the market dynamics reflect the impact of economic factors and agreements on the currency’s valuation. The SLA with the IMF contributes to a positive sentiment, influencing the exchange rate against the US dollar in the interbank market.
