AFN Market Update
15 Jul 2026 • 00:40 GMT
The Afghan Afghani (AFN) is currently trading at around 0.015152 against the US dollar, which is about 3.8% below its three-month average of 0.015755. The currency has shown some stability within the broader range, having moved between 0.015038 and 0.016129 over this period.
Afghanistan’s currency has recently been influenced by ongoing efforts by Da Afghanistan Bank to stabilize the economy. The central bank has conducted multiple currency auctions and injected USD into the market, which has helped support the AFN amid challenging conditions. Additionally, the recent upward trend in gold prices and regional economic policies have contributed to the currency's relative strength.
However, the dollar's broad strength, supported by recent hawkish FOMC minutes and global geopolitical tensions, also impacts the AFN. The dollar remains largely steady but with potential upside risks if US rate hike expectations increase further.
Overall, while the AFN remains weaker compared to recent months, ongoing intervention efforts and favorable commodity prices have helped cushion some volatility. Market participants will continue to monitor regional developments and US monetary policy signals for further guidance.
