BDT Market Update
23 Jul 2026 • 00:40 GMT
The Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) remains near its 90-day lows against the US dollar, with the rate around 0.008103. This level is just below its three-month average and has held within a narrow 0.8% range from 0.008103 to 0.008171. The dollar has been supported by safe-haven demand amid geopolitical tensions, especially with the Strait of Hormuz situation raising oil prices and increased market caution.
Despite the dollar's overall strength, BDT has seen limited movement recently, reflecting stable trading conditions. The US’s trade tensions, including tariffs on Bangladesh, have kept pressure on the local currency. However, record remittances from Bangladeshi workers — often sent in anticipation of facing a challenging job market — continue to provide some support to the economy.
Looking ahead, the dollar’s safe-haven status may sustain its dominance if geopolitical risks persist. Meanwhile, BDT’s exchange rate should remain relatively stable in the near term unless energy markets or trade policies shift significantly. Changes in global risk sentiment and oil prices will be key factors influencing BDT movements against the US dollar.
