Emmanuel OchayiIn a dynamic twist of events, the Nigerian naira faced a rollercoaster ride in the financial markets on Wednesday. The currency, which had exchanged for N745.19 to a dollar just a day before, saw a significant dip of 1.48 percent, settling at N756.21 at the Investors and Exporters window.
While the open indicative rate marked its presence at N766.82 to the dollar, what truly stood out was the spot exchange rate of N799.90 during the day’s trading – a striking peak in the currency’s value. However, it ultimately found its equilibrium at N756.21.
On a more surprising note, the naira displayed an unexpected low point, selling for as little as N701 to the dollar amidst the day’s trading frenzy.
