The U.S. dollar-Iraq exchange rate opened higher on Sunday across Iraq’s currency markets. Traders in Baghdad and Erbil recorded a noticeable upward shift in prices. Moreover, demand for foreign currency increased during early trading hours. In addition, exchange activity reflected cautious market sentiment across both cities.

In Baghdad, the U.S. dollar traded higher against the Iraqi dinar. Rates reached 153,600 dinars per 100 dollars. This level rose from the previous 152,900 dinars. Furthermore, traders at key exchanges reported stronger demand. As a result, the market showed steady upward movement.
