COMMENTS: In the open market, the Pak Rupee stood firm against the Green back throughout the week and no major change in its price was recorded on the desks. There was no major activity in the market that supported the rupee to maintain the stable trend that it is holding for the last many weeks.

COMMENTS: The Euro traded at more or less the same price as it was trading last week. However, mild ups and downs were observed and the rupee moved both ways against the currency on the desks. The rupee lost grounds in the opening sessions of the week but was able to recover the same towards the end. The gains of the euro remained under submissive holds and the rupee ended the week firmly.

COMMENTS: The Rupee remained firm against Yen this week too and much change in its price at the end of the week was not recorded here in the kerb. There was no major demand from the buyers, which supported the rupee to stand firm for yet another week and thus the rupee ended the week on a positive note.
