The exchange rate between the dollar and naira at the investor and exporter window sold for as high as N840/$1 on June 26th, 2023 sending jitters to currency watchers.

Africa’s largest economy, Nigeria adopted a market-driven exchange rate policy two weeks ago leading to a sharp depreciation of the exchange rate from about N471.67/$1 to an average of N765/$1.

In terms of turnover, the I&E window recorded volumes of $198.13 million on Monday, 26th of June 2023. Total turnover since the revised I&E window was launched is about $1.4 billion.

Price discovery: However, the intra-day highs and lows often signify the price discovery dynamics as the interplay between demand and supply continues to dictate prices.

  • The exchange rate has oscillated between N750/$1 and N770/$1 in the last week while hitting multiple intra-day highs.
  • Nairametrics reported last week that the central bank intervened in the market, selling $29 million at an exchange rate of about N765/$1.
  • Recent trading data also indicates the average exchange rate since this started is around N744.8/$1 in the last 8 days.

Optics: The spikes in intra-day exchange rate highs are sending jitters to traders and currency watchers as the price discovery process continues.

  • Some analysts have suggested the real value of the exchange rate is between N650-N680/$1 and not the parallel market exchange rate of N765-N770/$1.
  • Others also opine the rapid pace of inflation rate in the country may also be a major concern for forex liquidity and maintaining a stable exchange rate
