The pair settled -0.3% on Thursday at 166.00. At 10:15 UTC, USD\/PKR is trading -0.1% at 165.82. The pair is on track for marginal gains across the week, after falling for the past two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>According to the State Bank of Pakistan, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) soared by 40% during the first two months of the new fiscal year (FY2021) compared to the previous year. In the July \u2013 August period foreign investors made $277 million in FDI compared with $162 million in the same period the year before.<\/p>\n<p>Inflows mainly from Netherlands ($41 million), Malta ($37 million) and Norway ($45 million), with these three countries contributing 54% of the total figure.<\/p>\n<p>The US Dollar is trading lower across the board. The greenback is under pressure as concerns grow over the US economic recovery. Weaker than forecast US data on in the previous session cast doubts over the outlook for the US economy.<\/p>\n<p>US initial jobless claims were higher than expected, with 860,000 Americans signing up for unemployment benefits. This was just a marginal improvement on the 893,000 initial claims from the previous week.<\/p>\n<p>Both the housing starts and the Philadelphia Fed business index fell, missing analysts\u2019 estimates. The disappointing macro data came after the US Federal Reserve that it expected economic contraction in the US this year to be less severe than initially feared. The US central bank now sees -3.7% GDP contraction this year versus -6.5% previously forecast.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, US Michigan consumer confidence data will be in focus. Economists are predicting a slight tick higher in morale to 75 for September, up from 74.1.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-default\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#000061;border-radius:3px;max-width:none\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#071894;color:#FFFFFF;border-top-left-radius:1px;border-top-right-radius:1px\">USD Index Today - last 180 days<\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:1px;border-bottom-right-radius:1px\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-104935\" src=\"https:\/\/currencylive.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/71063482eeb9cc9acb64aaff23579085.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/currencylive.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/71063482eeb9cc9acb64aaff23579085.png 800w, https:\/\/currencylive.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/71063482eeb9cc9acb64aaff23579085-300x131.png 300w, https:\/\/currencylive.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/71063482eeb9cc9acb64aaff23579085-768x334.png 768w, https:\/\/currencylive.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/71063482eeb9cc9acb64aaff23579085-696x303.png 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: 75%; line-height: 1.5;\"><div class=\"su-expand su-expand-collapsed su-expand-link-style-default no-margin\" data-height=\"0\"><div class=\"su-expand-content su-u-trim\" style=\"color:#333333;max-height:0px;overflow:hidden\">Currency Index charts show the <strong>strength of a single currency<\/strong> based on a basket of foreign currencies.
