KHR Market Update
15 May 2026 • 00:44 GMT
The Cambodian Riel (KHR) remains near its 60-day lows against the US dollar, trading around 0.000249. This level is close to the three-month average and reflects a very stable trading range from 0.000248 to 0.000251. Recent geopolitical developments, particularly the US imposing a 49% reciprocal tariff on Cambodian goods, have added some pressure on the currency.
The US dollar has experienced a slight decline over the past two weeks, partly due to easing geopolitical tensions and cautious outlooks from Federal Reserve officials concerned about inflation. However, this softer dollar has not provided strong upward momentum for the Riel.
Against other major currencies, the Riel has seen some gains. It has risen to 30-day highs versus both the euro (0.000214) and the British pound (0.000186), and is also close to recent highs against the Canadian and Swiss franc. Meanwhile, the Riel remains above average against the Indian rupee, trading at 0.023852, about 2.7% above its three-month mean.
Overall, the KHR continues to trade within a stable range, with recent geopolitical tensions still influencing market sentiment. The currency shows resilience amid global trade uncertainties.
