  • However, the world’s most popular digital asset, Bitcoin, as of 5:15 am on Tuesday was trading at $33,120,64 indicating a 0.05% gain, while Ethereum dipped about 0.43% to trade at $2,026.15.
  • In the previous week, Bitcoin investors panicked as U.S Senator Elizabeth Warren, who chairs the Senate Banking Committee’s Subcommittee on Economic Policy, gave the U.S Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) an ultimatum for cryptocurrency regulation. She gave Gary Gensler, the SEC Chairman, till July 28th to respond to questions surrounding cryptocurrency regulations.
  • Consequently, this caused the asset class to decline below $33,000 during the week but over the weekend, the market rebounded on positive news of new Whale accumulation.
  • Meanwhile, despite the ban on crypto activities in Nigeria, peer-to-peer bitcoin trade volumes went up in June 2021. According to data sourced from P2P exchanges, the volume of P2P trades in the country went up to just a little under $38 million.

Oil price

Brent Crude made a rebound in the early hours of Tuesday with a 0.24% gain to trade at $75.34, while WTI Crude recorded a 0.27% gain to trade at $74.3 per barrel as of 5:30 am on Tuesday.

  • Oil prices dipped about 1% on Monday over concerns of spreading covid-19 variants affecting the global economic recovery, which has reduced fuel demand back to pre-pandemic levels.
  • Also, Tokyo’s reimposed new lockdowns due to concerns over covid-infections before hosting the Summer Olympics. This has dampened the bullish trend recorded lately in the global crude oil market.
  • However, analysts have predicted that the spread and levels of inventory suggest that oil prices can still go higher.

External reserve

Nigeria’s external reserve plunged $21.03 million on Friday, 9th July 2021 to close at $33.09 billion. This came on the back of back-to-back gains recorded in just two days.

  • The forex reserve position continues to deplete despite crude oil price rally at the global crude oil market.
  • So far in the month of July 2021, Nigeria’s reserve has lost a total of $223.77 million while its year-to-date loss stands at $2.27 billion.
  • It had appeared that the initial rise in the price of crude oil had begun to reflect in Nigeria’s reserve, however, it has reverted to its negative trend.
  • Nigeria needs to boost its foreign reserves in order to meet up with pent-up obligations.
