According to market dealers, the U.S. dollar traded between SDG 3,700 and 3,800, showing stability at elevated levels. The Saudi riyal was quoted at SDG 973.33, while the UAE dirham stood at SDG 994.55.
The euro traded at SDG 4,244.18, and the British pound was exchanged at SDG 4,866.66, maintaining its strong position. Meanwhile, the Egyptian pound stood at SDG 76.80.
Among Gulf currencies, the Bahraini dinar reached SDG 9,605.26, the Qatari riyal averaged SDG 1,002.74, the Omani riyal held at SDG 9,600, and the Kuwaiti dinar remained the highest at SDG 11,774.19.
