Crude oil prices

The crude oil market enjoyed a positive trade on Monday, as Brent Crude gained 2.56% to close at $81.31 per barrel, consolidating on gains recorded in recent weeks. West Texas Intermediate also gained 2.29% to close at $77.62 per barrel.

The OPEC+ meeting ended on Monday as the group decided to maintain its initial 400,000 Bpd increase in oil production. Recall that the OPEC+ decided in July that it would begin returning 400,000 barrels per day to the market on a monthly basis from August till it is able to unwind the 5.8 million pbd cut.

External reserve

Nigeria’s foreign reserve gained further by $186.9 million on Thursday, 30th September 2021 to close at $36.78 billion compared to $36.59 billion recorded as of the previous day. The latest increase represents a 0.51% boost in the country’s foreign reserve and the highest level in almost 20 months.

The reserve gained a record $2.76 billion in the month of September 2021, while the recent gain puts the year-to-date gain at $1.41 billion.

The recent increase in the reserve position, which has continued since the 25th of August is in line with recent report suggesting that Nigeria’s foreign reserve position could grow as high as $40 billion by the end of September 2021. Although the reserves did not hit $40 billion as predicted, however, it continues to record positive growth and could cross the predicted line by the end of the month, if it maintains this trajectory.

With the oversubscription of the $4 billion Eurobond sourced by the federal government from the international debt market, the reserve is likely to get more firepower in the coming weeks.
