The interbank market witnessed the US Dollar closing at Rs 275.44, marking a substantial decrease of Rs 10.55.
Financial expert Malik Bustan predicts the Dollar may stabilize between Rs 260 and Rs 270 in the interbank market. He attributes the Dollar’s previous surge to governmental policy missteps, claiming importers resorted to alternative channels for currency acquisition.
Bustan noted that speculators have begun selling their Dollar holdings, potentially leading to further stabilization of the exchange rate.
