The US dollar started from where it had left on the previous day as the early trading saw it gaining 25 paisas against the Pakistani rupee.

Earlier on Tuesday, the dollar’s value was down by 26 paisas. At point one, it had lost 41 paisas against the rupee and was available for Rs159.50.

It was a continuation of the trend witnessed on Monday when the rupee gained 26 paisas against the dollar which ended the day at Rs159.91.
