USD to PKR – 18 May 2026

The US dollar is showing a steady movement in Pakistan’s currency market as both open market and interbank rates are remaining closely aligned. The US dollar is trading in the open market at Rs. 279.05 buying and Rs. 279.70 selling, while in the interbank market it is recording Rs. 278.50 buying and Rs. 279.00 selling.

The slight gap between both markets is reflecting balanced demand in import payments and foreign transactions, while Pakistan’s trade activity is continuing under controlled pressure. Import costs are remaining sensitive as the dollar is maintaining strength against the rupee, directly impacting fuel, machinery, and raw material pricing.

Overall, the rupee is showing stability, but continued pressure is being observed due to external payment demand and global currency movement.
