USD vs PKR Today: US Dollar Holds Firm Against Pakistani Rupee, Pressure Likely to Persist on January 13, 2026
On January 13, 2026, the US dollar continued to trade at a strong level against the Pakistani rupee (PKR), reflecting ongoing demand in the foreign exchange market. The rupee showed limited movement during the session, as market participants remained cautious amid external payment pressures and global economic uncertainty. The USD/PKR pair stayed near recent highs, indicating that the rupee is still facing resistance in making a meaningful recovery.
Dollar to PKR Movement
The US dollar maintained its position close to 278.69 against the Pakistani rupee. Demand for the greenback remained firm due to import-related payments, external debt servicing, and precautionary buying by businesses. While remittances provided some support to the rupee, they were not strong enough to significantly ease pressure on the local currency.

Expert Analysis and Outlook
Currency analysts believe the USD to PKR trend will largely depend on Pakistan’s foreign exchange inflows and overall economic stability. Any improvement in exports, foreign investment, or multilateral inflows could help stabilize the rupee in the short term. However, continued global dollar strength and Pakistan’s external financing needs may keep the USD elevated against the PKR.
Experts expect the dollar to remain range-bound in the near term, with gradual movements rather than sharp swings, unless there is a major shift in domestic economic conditions or global financial markets.
