US Dollar appreciates as NRB unveils Tuesday’s forex rates

KATHMANDU, Aug 5: The US dollar has inched upward as Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) rolled out its updated foreign exchange rates for Tuesday. The central bank pegged the buying rate at Rs 139.96 and the selling rate at Rs 140.56 — both slightly higher than Monday’s rates of Rs 139.77 and Rs 140.37, respectively. The modest gain reflects a continued strengthening of the greenback in the local currency market.
