The naira exchange rate to the US dollar closed at N417/$1 at the official Investors and Exporters (I&E) window representing a depreciation of the naira by 0.18% when compared to the N416.25/$1 recorded in the previous trading session.

The exchange rate at the parallel market had been very volatile as forex scarcity has influenced the naira exchange rate. It has ranged between N575/$1 and N580/$1 in the past five days. However, at the close of trade on Tuesday, Naira fell to about N590/$1 at the black market, largely driven by increased demands in the market. This information was obtained from the chat with BDC operators.
