BDT Market Update
15 May 2026 • 00:42 GMT
The Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) remains steady against the US dollar (USD), trading at around 0.008145, near its three-month average. The currency has been within a narrow 1.5% range, from 0.008100 to 0.008220, reflecting stable conditions despite global market shifts.
Recent US trade developments show a 37% tariff on Bangladeshi goods, indicating increased trade tensions. Meanwhile, migrant workers continue to send significant remittances home, although many are just sending money ahead of possible job losses due to a tough job market abroad.
Against other major currencies, the BDT has seen minor moves: it’s near its 30-day highs against the euro and the pound, trading just above recent averages. The currency also hit a 14-day high against the Japanese yen, staying within a stable range. Conversely, the BDT is slightly below its three-month average against the Australian dollar, but remains near its 14-day high against the Canadian dollar and Swiss franc.
Overall, the BDT’s recent stability indicates that, despite external pressures, the currency maintains a balanced position in line with its typical trading range.
