Specifically, the US currency increased by 15.20 soums compared to the previous day, setting the official rate at 12,895.55 soums. This is the first increase after the dollar had been declining for three consecutive days. It is worth noting that the dollar exchange rate had previously fallen to 12,880.35 soums. This currency last dropped below 12,900 soums on April 23 and had not risen since then.
In contrast, the European currency has significantly depreciated. The value of one euro decreased by 196.91 soums, amounting to 14,338.56 soums. Such a sharp decline in the euro exchange rate in the currency market was one of the largest changes observed this week.

According to experts, these changes in exchange rates are related to the situations in the international financial market, oil prices, and global economic processes. In particular, the volatility in world markets in recent days continues to reflect in Uzbekistan's currency market.
