Analysis and Implications

The general downward trend in SAR, AED, KWD, CAD, QAR, and USD from August 4 to August 5 suggests a potential short-term strengthening of the PKR, which could lower costs for imports, remittances, and travel. However, slight increases in AED and QAR for shorter terms (1-month and 3-month) indicate mixed market dynamics. The declines in EUR, GBP, CHF, AUD, and SGD reflect broader global currency fluctuations, possibly influenced by changes in USD-based cross-rates on Reuters Eikon Terminal.
