Cryptocurrency watch

The cryptocurrency market suffered a downturn on Wednesday, triggered by the sell-off sentiments in the two biggest crypto assets by market capitalization, bitcoin and Ethereum. In the early hours of Thursday, bitcoin had lost 0.99% to trade at $36,465 drawing the industry market capitalization to $1.623 trillion.

On the other hand, Ethereum suffered a 1.13% decline to trade at $2,437.15 and Solana dipped 2.41% to trade at $89.9425. Meanwhile, Tera recorded a gain of 1.13% on Thursday morning to trade at $59.4357576 while Uniswap recorded a 1.89% downtrend to trade at $10.38.

The bearish movement in the market is following the announcement on Wednesday regarding reducing balance sheet size by the US Federal Reserve.

Crude oil hits $90 per barrel

The crude oil market continued its bullish trend on Wednesday after Brent Crude hit $90 per barrel as the tension between Russia and Ukraine, supply tightening, and inventory draw pushed brent crude up by about 2% during intra-day trading.

Meanwhile, the OPEC+ group is expected to decide next week whether it should continue unwinding the oil production cuts by another 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) in March. This is following the resilience of the market despite the growing concerns of the covid-19 in importing nations.

External reserve

Nigeria’s external reserve dropped by 0.07% on Tuesday, 25th January 2022 to close at $40.21 billion, which represents a decline of $26.77 million from the $40.24 billion recorded as of the previous day.

The continuous decline in the country’s reserve level can be attributed to the Central Bank’s intervention in the official market in ensuring the stability of the exchange rate. It is worth noting that the nation’s foreign reserve gained $5.99 billion in the month of October, as a result of the $4 billion raised by the federal government from the issuance of Eurobond in the international debt market.

However, in the month of November, Nigeria’s external reserve lost $611.01 million in value as against a gain of $5.99 million recorded in the previous month and a $2.76 million gain in September 2021. In December 2021, the reserve dipped by $66.17 million, while in January 2022 a total of $307.19 million has been lost in the reserve level.
