In the parallel market, commonly referred to as the black market, the naira appreciated significantly, rising by N20 to exchange at N1,550 per dollar on Monday, from N1,570 on Friday. This upward movement in the naira’s exchange rate follows its decline across both markets at the close of trading last week.

The appreciation of the naira can be attributed to various factors, including improved dollar supply in the foreign exchange market and increased confidence in the currency. The Central Bank of Nigeria’s efforts to stabilize the forex market and boost dollar supply may be contributing to the naira’s recent gains.

Overall, the naira’s appreciation against the US dollar is a positive development for the Nigerian economy, and it is expected to continue in the coming weeks. However, the currency’s value can be affected by various factors, including global economic trends and domestic economic policies
