The exchange rates of the US dollar recorded a notable decline against the local currency in major markets and stock exchanges. Trading indicated a drop in both buying and selling rates in the capital, Baghdad, alongside closely aligned and stable rates in the exchanges of other major governorates such as Erbil and Basra, reflecting a trend toward relative stability in the value of the national currency. In a related context, gold markets maintained their stability, with global ounce prices holding steady, which was reflected in the local selling prices of various gold karat weights without any notable drastic fluctuations.
