    Currency experts said that the dollar witnessed appreciation globally following a sharp rise in treasury yields after the Federal Reserve signaled the interest rates would likely spike.

    During the last week the rupee witnessed massive deterioration against the dollar after the PTI chief announced the protest rally.

    PTI Chief Imran Khan was removed as prime minister through a vote of no confidence by the allied political parties in April this year. Imran Khan claimed that his government was toppled by a conspiracy.

    Prior to the announcement of the long march, the rupee witnessed recovery against the greenback due to removal of Pakistan name from the grey list of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

    Further, the sentiments were also improved due to commitment of Asian Development Bank (ADB) to finance the country. The ADB approved a financing of $1.5 billion to the country. Currency experts said that the approval of loan program by the ADB helped the rupee to make gain.

    Interestingly, the amount of $1.5 billion was received last night by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). However, the fund transfer also failed to support the local currency.
