On Thursday, May 4, the Naira strengthened against the US dollar in the Peer-to-Peer (P2P), Investors and Exporters (I&E), and black market windows of the foreign exchange window.

When compared to the previous session’s exchange rate of N751/$1, it increased N5 on the dollar in the P2P wing during the session to settle at N746/$1.

In the black market, the value of the Nigerian Naira increased relative to the US dollar by N2, selling for N735 to $1 as opposed to N737 to $1 on Wednesday.

In a similar vein, on Thursday, the local currency gained 12 Kobo, or 0.03 percent, against the US Dollar in the I&E section of the market, closing at N462.88/$1 as opposed to N463.00/$1 at the end of the midweek session.

This occurred as the value of forex deals increased from $52.32 million to $108.43 million, representing a $52.11 million or 107.2 percent rise.

The Naira had a depreciation in the interbank market, falling against the pound sterling by N1.24 to close at N576.33/£1 from its previous rate of N575.09/£1, and falling against the euro by N3.45 to quote at N508.77/€1 from N505.32/€1 on Wednesday.

In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin rose past the $29,000 barrier as markets continued to respond to the US Federal Reserve’s anticipated 25 basis point interest rate hike in May. BTC gained 0.3% to close at $29,186.71.
