Daily Naira-Foreign exchange sheet

The Naira continued to maintain its momentum against the dollar from last week on the parallel market, trading at N322 to the dollar.

In recent weeks it has maintained a steady position against the dollar and the British Pound, while it has gained slightly against the Euro and that trend continues today.

Today, the Naira traded at N322/dollar in the morning, and has remained at that level. Right now, you can buy dollars at N319/dollar on the parallel market. Analysts say the recent deal with the Chinese government has helped the Naira strengthen against the dollar, although the effects of that deal are not yet very visible.
