In the open market, the Pak Rupee dominated the trading sessions this
week as the national currency gained significant grounds against the
Green back on the desks. The Rupee gained 0.20 Paisa against the Green
on the desks as the national currency met the existing demand of the
currency with quite ease while on the other hand, the demand force
also remained at normal ebb.

The Rupee in the open market remained strong against the Pound this
week too and in most of the sessions, gained grounds against the
currency. The launch of Euro and gains of the US Dollar in the
international market subdued the Sterling and thus the currency
remained bleak giving the Rupee a better chance to show firmness.

The Rupee showed strength against the German Mark this week too and
thus continued with the firm footing that it has been showing for
the last couple of days. The fall of Euro in the international
market against the US Dollar and less than expected performance of
the currency on the trading desks showed its impact in the kerb as
well and thus the Rupee ended the week showing a gain in its price.

The Rupee remained firm
against the Yen this week too and much change in its price at the
end of the market was not recorded here in the kerb. The Dollar
continued to rise against the Yen creeping higher on good corporate
earnings and economic number from the United States coupled with a
rebound in the New York stock market.
