Intra-day update: rupee records gain against US dollar
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterWhatsapp

The Pakistani rupee registered gains against the US dollar, appreciating 0.06% during the opening minutes of trading in the inter-bank market on Friday.

At 10am, the local currency was hovering at 280.27, a gain of Re0.18 against the greenback.

On Thursday, the local unit closed at 280.45.

Internationally, the US dollar languished not far from a five-week low against its major peers on Friday as investors braced for a Federal Reserve rate cut next week.

Markets widely expect a quarter-point reduction when the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee meets on December 9-10, and a focus will be on any signals about how much additional easing lies ahead.

The dollar index, which measures the currency against six rivals, was flat at 99.065 in Asia early.

A small gain overnight snapped a nine-day losing streak, but the index had dipped to a five-week low of 98.765 earlier that session, and it remains on course for a 0.4% decline this week.

Traders are pricing around 86% odds of a Fed cut next Wednesday, and potentially 2-3 more reductions next year, LSEG data showed.

Fed officials have been carefully watching the labour market to determine whether the economy needs further support.

Oil prices, a key indicator of currency parity, were heading for weekly gains of close to 2% in early trading on Friday, supported by an expected Federal Reserve interest rate cut, escalating US-Venezuela tensions and stalled peace talks in Moscow.

It would be a second straight week of increases.

Prices were little changed at market open on Friday, with Brent crude up 6 cents, or 0.09%, at $63.32 per barrel by 0104 GMT.
