EKO HOT BLOG reports that according to recent commentary, the parallel market rate sits at around ₦1,465 per dollar, while dealers are buying at about ₦1,452.
The relatively narrow spread between official and informal rates points to improved access to foreign exchange and moderated speculative pressure.
For importers, exporters, and foreign-remittance recipients, the official rate offers a benchmark for budgeting and hedging, while the premium in the parallel market still suggests some residual demand and supply mismatch.
Looking ahead, the naira’s direction remains dependent on oil revenue flows, foreign-exchange reserve levels and investor sentiment. With inflation gradually moderating and the Central Bank of Nigeria appearing to maintain policy discipline, the currency may continue to trade in this relatively narrow band.
Nevertheless, stakeholders are advised to monitor the gap between the official and black-market rates as a barometer of underlying pressure in the foreign-exchange market.
