Overseas Pakistanis sending money home from the Gulf will find slightly higher PKR returns compared to Tuesday. The British Pound at Rs 380.84 and the Euro at Rs 325.55 are both Rs 6 higher than yesterday’s rates.
Petrol and Diesel Prices Today
Petrol price in Pakistan today is Rs 334.54 per litre, up Rs 3 from yesterday. High Speed Diesel has climbed even more, rising Rs 5 to reach Rs 395.69 per litre. Both fuels are more expensive today than they were on Tuesday, which will directly affect daily commuters and the goods transport sector.
| Fuel Type | Price (Per Litre) | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol | Rs 334.54 | +Rs 3 |
| High Speed Diesel (HSD) | Rs 395.69 | +Rs 5 |
The rise in diesel prices is particularly important for Pakistan’s supply chain. Trucks, buses and agricultural machinery all run on HSD, so a Rs 5 single-day increase can push up the cost of food and goods delivery within a short time. Motorists are advised to plan fuel purchases accordingly.
Copper Rate Today
Today the copper rate in Pakistan is Rs 5,500 per kilogram, as reported by local metal markets on Wednesday 19 August 2026. Copper prices matter to builders, electricians and manufacturers who use the metal in wiring, plumbing and industrial equipment.
| Metal | Unit | Price (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| Copper | Per Kilogram | Rs 5,500 |
Why Did Rates Change Today?
Silver dropped by Rs 43 per tola today, which is likely linked to a softening in international bullion sentiment for the white metal. While gold held steady in local Sarafa markets, silver often moves more sharply in short periods because it has a smaller global market. Gulf and European currencies all gained against the Pakistani Rupee today, pointing to broader USD-PKR stability combined with slight weakness of the Rupee against non-dollar pairs. When the Dollar stays flat but other currencies rise against PKR, it usually means the Rupee lost a little ground in cross-rate trading rather than in the main USD market.
Petrol and diesel prices rising on the same day suggests upward pressure from global crude oil markets, which directly feeds into Pakistan’s fuel pricing formula. A Rs 5 jump in High Speed Diesel is a notable single-day move and points to strong international oil price momentum. The Kuwaiti Dinar’s Rs 21 spike is the largest currency move of the day and may reflect liquidity conditions in the Kuwait remittance corridor. Overall, Wednesday’s rate picture shows fuel and most currencies moving up, silver moving slightly down, and gold and copper holding their ground in the local market.
