Naira Gains Marginally on I&E Fx Window on Monday

Naira gained marginally against the US dollar on the Investors and Exporters Forex Window on Monday as daily turnover rose to $63.44 million.

According to the FMDQ Group data, the naira opened the day at N386 against the US dollar on Monday and slipped to N389.75 during the trading hours before moderating to N386.

Activity level expanded to $63.44 million on Monday as currency traders kick-started the week with more activity.

However, the local currency remained flat on the black market at N455 to a US dollar while against the British pound, the naira exchanged at N555.

Against the Euro single currency, the Nigerian Naira depreciated to N498 per unit on Monday, down from N490 it traded on Friday.

This was after the Association of Bureau De Change Operators (ABCON) said speculators were behind the wide difference between the central bank’s stipulated rates and black market forex rates.

Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, the President, ABCON, said once the licensed bureau de change operators commence sales of forex to end-users, speculators will lose billions and the nation’s forex market will rebalance.

He said, “The return of over 5,000 BDCs to the forex market will add great strength to the naira and lead to major capital losses for forex speculators.

“It happened in 2016 and will happen again in 2020. The return of the BDCs will immediately boost naira recovery and put the enemies of the economy to shame.

“We are committed to the CBN’s exchange rate stability and will take all necessary steps within set rules and regulations to keep the naira stable.”

Dollar Pulls Back as the World Prepares for New US President

US Dollar pulled back on Tuesday ahead of Joe Biden’s inauguration following a week of consistent gains.

The United States dollar pared gains against the European common currency to $1.21444 per Euro as investors abandoned the greenback for Gold and other haven assets ahead of Wednesday’s inauguration.

Against New Zealand Kiwi, the dollar was largely unchanged and remained steady within 0.70787 support level and 0.71401 resistance level.

However, against the Japanese Yen, the United States Dollar gained on Tuesday to 103.966.

Despite the uncertainties surrounding global growth and COVID-19 vaccine deployment, OPEC is bullish on oil demand in 2021.

In its latest outlook for the year, OPEC left demand unchanged for the year even as experts are projecting disruption from U.S producers given the series of stimulus planned by the incoming administration.
