The rupee also weakened by 14 paisas against the Canadian Dollar (CAD).
Despite the losses, the PKR maintained its stability against the UAE Dirham (AED) and the Saudi Riyal (SAR).
The currency's performance against the British Pound was particularly notable, as it fell below the 375 mark, indicating a significant shift in the foreign exchange market.
