Meanwhile,  N820/$1 traded at the parallel market is weaker than the average rate of N815/$1 recorded last Friday, according to the Nairametrics survey.

MPC Meets next week

The monetary policy committee of the central bank is expected to meet next Tuesday and Wednesday to deliberate on the economy.

  • This will be their first time meeting since the revision to the forex market was introduced. It is also the first meeting without CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele.
  • The committee will be expected to address the effect of monetary policy tools on rising inflation which is the core mandate of the apex bank.
  • Analysts also expect the MPC to comment on the demand pressure hitting the exchange rate and how to address it.
  • More importantly, the monetary policy rate is expected to be the key highlight of today’s meeting. Nairametrics expects the rate to be increased to at least 19% or at least 18.75%.

Breakdown of data 

I&E FX window –  The exchange rate opened at N782.79/$1 and sold for as high as N832/$1.

  • The naira also reached a low of N699.50 per dollar, indicating high volatility in the foreign exchange market.
  • The exchange rate between the naira and the US dollar has closed at an average of N768.38 to a dollar for the first eleven trading days of the month, in contrast to the average rate of N524.21/$1 in the same period of the previous month

Parallel market – The Naira-US dollar exchange rate at the unofficial parallel market on Monday depreciated to N820/$1, compared to the average rate of N815/$1 on Friday.
