The Pakistani rupee made its first major recovery of around Rs10 to reach a one-week high of Rs228.50 against the US dollar in the inter-bank market on Wednesday.
The domestic currency had closed at Rs238.38 against the greenback on Tuesday.
Earlier, the rupee had hit an all-time low of Rs239.94 last Thursday (July 28), after depreciating by 13.75% (or Rs31.31) during the prior 10 working days.
The rupee recovered after Pakistan reported that its trade deficit had reduced by almost half to $2.64 billion in July compared to $4.96 billion in June.
