The Pakistan

  The air in   Karachi’s   money market   felt still this morning. Screens flashed numbers that barely moved. Dealers leaned on their counters, half-watching the changing digits, half-listening to the hum of ceiling fans.  The  Pakistani Rupee  (PKR) stayed cautious again—steady in some corners, slightly weaker in others. Against the U.S. Dollar, it inched lower. Against the Euro, it slipped a little more. The Indian Rupee and Russian Ruble showed almost no difference. It’s the sort of calm that keeps traders alert, not relaxed. The rupee’s movements today captured a familiar mood. Nothing dramatic, yet everyone’s watching. Importers hesitated on new contracts, exporters delayed conversions, and small  exchange shops  quietly updated their chalkboards.

  Pakistan’s former captain Babar Azam, who has been under intense criticism in recent months, made a stunning comeback on Sunday by achieving a historic milestone during the ongoing Test match against South Africa at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium. The prolific right-hander became the first Asian cricketer to score 3,000 runs in the World Test Championship (WTC). Needing just two runs to reach the landmark, Babar achieved the feat in style, striking a boundary off Senuran Muthusamy’s delivery in the 49th over of Pakistan’s first innings. His elegant shot not only brought up the milestone but also reaffirmed his stature as one of the most consistent performers in modern Test cricket. Before Babar, the elite 3,000-run club in the WTC era included four Australian batters — Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Travis Head, and Usman Khawaja — and three Englishmen — Joe Root, Ben Stokes, and Zak Crawley. Babar is now the eighth batter overall and the first from Asia to cross the 3,000-run mark i...

A short while before Gandapur’s statement, PTI secretary seneral Raja said “this is correct” when asked by a reporter in Rawalpindi if MPA Afridi was decided as the next chief minister.

  The sound of shop shutters rolling up on  Karachi’s  Tariq Road comes with an unspoken question—what is the rupee trading at today?

  Step into a money exchange shop  in  Karachi  on a Tuesday morning and the first thing noticed is the restless buzz. Counters stacked with cash, calculators tapping, traders leaning over slips of paper. The  Pakistani Rupee  (PKR) set its tone for the day against the dollar, euro, Indian rupee, and ruble. Every small shift on those digital boards feeds into groceries, tuition bills, petrol pumps, and rent.  Currency rates  aren’t just figures; they decide how much milk costs or if a student abroad can stretch their allowance another week.
