AFN Market Update
25 Jun 2026 • 00:37 GMT
The Afghan Afghani (AFN) remains near 60-day lows against the US dollar, trading at around 0.015504. This level is about 1.7% below its three-month average of 0.01578, reflecting some recent softness. The AFN has generally traded within a relatively narrow range over the past couple of months, but increased US dollar strength has kept pressure on the local currency.
Despite the dollar’s rally, the AFN has shown signs of resilience thanks to ongoing actions by Da Afghanistan Bank, which has conducted currency auctions to bolster stability. Additionally, recent rises in gold prices have supported the AFN against some currencies, including the Pakistani rupee. However, the overall trend remains cautious, as global uncertainties around US interest rate expectations and geopolitical tensions continue to influence market sentiment.
Looking ahead, traders should watch for any shifts in US dollar strength or regional economic developments that could impact the AFN’s exchange rate. While the currency is currently weaker against the dollar, the stability seen against other major currencies suggests some underlying resilience in the local economy.
