As of February 18, 2026, the Pakistani rupee (PKR) has continued its upward trend, closing at 90.67 PKR per USD after gaining five paisas against the dollar. The rupee opened at 90.60 but initially lost some ground before stabilizing at this level during early trade, according to reports from The Hindu. This marks the 103rd consecutive day of strengthening for the PKR, although forex traders noted that higher global crude oil prices and a strengthening U.S. dollar have capped sharper gains in the local currency. The dollar index was recorded at 97.03, indicating a 0.22% increase, which underscores the challenging environment for the PKR.
