The Jamaican dollar depreciated modestly during Thursday’s trading session, closing at $159.21 per US dollar on November 11, 2026, according to the Bank of Jamaica’s daily exchange trading summary. The movement represented a six-cent decline from the previous trading day, reflecting ongoing volatility in currency markets affecting the island nation.
Other major currencies also showed weakness against the Jamaican dollar during the same period. The Canadian dollar ended trading at $111.62, down from $112.10, while the British pound closed at $212.44, compared to $212.02 the previous day. These shifts in exchange rates carry implications for Jamaicans engaged in international trade and those with holdings in foreign currencies.
