Currency now trading at N507/Pound sterling, gains against Dollar [June 1, 2016]

Following a sharp decline after the FG decided to adopt the flexible exchange rate policy which was announced last week, the Naira has slightly gained against the dollar on the parallel market, trading at N350 to the dollar today compared to the N351 it traded at, last Friday.

Over the past few weeks, the currency has maintained a slow, steady drop against the dollar - and some short-lived gains here and there, but has continued to drop, almost uncontrollably, against the British Pound and the Euro.

Today, the Naira traded at N350/dollar in the morning. Right now, you can buy dollars at N345/dollar on the parallel market even though this morning it cost N347, indicating a N2 drop.
