The exchange rate between the naira and the US dollar at the parallel market depreciated on Wednesday, January 18, 2023, trading at an average of N745/$1. This is according to information provided by parallel market dealers to RateCaptain; the naira decreased in value by 0.42% in comparison to the N742/$1 recorded on Tuesday, January 17, 2023.

The decline in the black market was linked to an uptick in FX demand because of the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday, which takes place between January 21 and 27. All international trading in China will be suspended at this time until after the holiday. As a result, importers from Nigeria have already placed pre-orders for goods in advance of the holiday.
