The exchange rate between the naira and dollar slid back to around N1,745/$1 on the parallel market a sharp reversal from the sub N1,600 levels recorded at the end of last week.

An earlier article by Nairametrics quoted the exchange rate at around N1,685/$1, however quotes quickly depreciated as business activities resumed fully.

Checks by Nairametrics as of 10am Wednesday December 11 show several rates above the N1,700/$1 mark suggesting that the gains seen last week may have been a dead cat bounce” a market terminology for temporary gains.

Instead of blaming speculators, let the airconditioned offices addicted govt replace our top imports with local alternatives to crash demand for, and thus, prices of forex.
From our top 10 imports, six are replacable in 24 months if the govt is serious.

OUR MAJOR IMPORTS
1 PMS — ₦9.18tn
2 Gas oil — ₦3.22tn
3 Wheat — ₦1.23tn
4 Butanes — ₦0.6tn
5 Sugar Cane — ₦581.36bn
6 Used Vehicles — ₦284.46bn
7 Kerosene — ₦250.2bn
8 Motorcycles — ₦245.01bn

You're being clever by half, why did you not post the full article?. You cut off the part that pleases you knowing the gullible ones would fall for it. Where was the rest of the report?. The report quoted P2P platforms selling at $1745.

Below is the rest of the article;

Some P2P exchanges quoted N1,715/$1 while some IMTOs checked by Nairametrics quoted N1,745. Stock trading apps like Bamboo and Trove quoted for N1,730/$1 and N1,736/$1 respectively.

Meanwhile, the exchange rate between the naira and dollar in the official market closed at around N1,525/$1 on Tuesday the strongest close since the EFEM was introduced.

We were not producing when dollar was selling at 200 naira about 10 years ago, Just sell the dollar you make from oil to the common man and watch naira appreciate.

Let me have access to it in my gtb card when ever I want to pay IG ads , or when ever I want to pay for flight or buy 5k dollars worth of item from alibaba. Its not rocket science. Let the people who need 1million dollars deal with aboki
