Karachi: The US dollar trades in the open market at Rs 284.10 (buying) and Rs 285.60 (selling). The dollar anchors most of Pakistan’s external payments—from fuel and machinery imports to tuition and travel—so even a small move shows up in pump prices, utility costs, and business cash flows.
Exporters and freelancers billing in USD see immediate effects on margins, while households planning foreign payments keep a close eye on today’s spread.
