SAR Market Update
04 Apr 2026 • 00:34 GMT
The SAR to USD remains near its 14-day lows around 0.2663, close to its 3-month average, with little movement in a tight 0.6% range from 0.2657 to 0.2674. The Saudi riyal continues to be stable against the dollar, supported by its fixed peg at 1 USD = 3.75 SAR.
In contrast, the SAR has gained strength against other major currencies recently. It is trading at 0.2312 against the euro, which is 1.4% above its 3-month average and within a stable range. Similarly, the SAR has strengthened against the British pound to 0.2018, 1.9% above its longer-term average, and has also climbed to 42.53 against the Japanese yen, 1.6% higher than average levels.
The larger picture shows the dollar maintaining its strength amid ongoing geopolitical risks, particularly in the Middle East, which supports the greenback. Meanwhile, the SAR’s performance against major currencies reflects its stability, with only modest fluctuations despite global volatility. Watch for potential shifts as geopolitical tensions and energy markets evolve, which could influence the dollar’s movement and, in turn, impact the SAR’s exchange rates.
