NGN Currency Update - Our review of Nigerian naira forecasts and news plus charts and historic rates. Check NGN Trends over various time periods.

 

The USD to NGN exchange rate has been experiencing a notable shift recently. Currently, the USD stands at 1464 NGN, approximately 3.1% below its three-month average of 1511 NGN, indicating a relatively stable trading range between 1461 and 1539 NGN.

Recent forecasts indicate factors influencing the USD are largely tied to the Federal Reserve's dovish stance. comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell suggesting potential further rate cuts have contributed to the USD's decline. Additionally, inflation data and US-China trade negotiations could further weigh on the dollar, particularly if a broadly dovish sentiment emerges among Fed officials.

On the Nigerian side, developments including the IMF's recognition of improved macroeconomic stability following recent reforms offer a glimmer of optimism. However, challenges remain as seen with the Dangote Refinery halting naira petrol sales due to crude allocation issues, which may pressure the naira if marketers seek dollar transactions. A World Bank report highlights ongoing economic progress despite high food prices and poverty strains.

The African Development Bank's projection of a 6% depreciation of the naira between 2025 and 2026 further underlines the uncertainties facing the currency, particularly against a backdrop of global market volatility.

Oil prices, which substantially influence the NGN, have recently hit a 90-day low of 61.91, falling by 7.8% from its three-month average. This volatility, trading between 61.91 and 73.37, suggests that fluctuations in oil prices will heavily impact the naira's stability and outlook.

In conclusion, the USD to NGN exchange rate is currently affected by both external signals from the US economy and internal factors in Nigeria. The interplay of these elements will play a crucial role in the near-term direction of the exchange rate, warranting close attention to upcoming economic indicators and geopolitical developments.
