RUPEE IN LAHORE: The Pak rupee failed to sustain its day earlier recoveries as it depreciated its worth against the greenback in the open currency market on Thursday.

The short supply phenomenon of the greenback prevailed throughout the trading session which helped its appreciation for buying and selling at Rs 168.35 and Rs 169.00 against the overnight closing rate of Rs 167.60 and Rs 168.80, respectively, local currency dealers said.

“As per the market information, the rupee is likely to climb up to Rs 170 in the next week’s trading session due to rising import payments and people (investors) who have Rs 40,000 denominated prize bonds are surrendering their bonds and heavily buying the US dollars from the kerb market because they would no longer be able to encash or redeem their bonds after September 30,” Uzair Ahmed, a local currency dealer said.

Besides, the rupee witnessed volatile trend as it moved both ways in relation to the pound sterling. At the close, the British currency was bought and sold at Rs 230.50 and Rs 231.80 against Wednesday’s closing trend of Rs 229.50 and Rs 232.00, respectively, the dealers added.
