Naira extend losses at I&E window
Naira fell against the United States dollar on the Investors and Exporters on Thursday to trade at N702.19 per dollar, extending losses to two successive business days after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) announced the unification of all segments of the Nigerian forex market.
According to data from the FMDQ securities exchange window where forex is traded, the naira which opened the day’s sales at N658.50 touched an intraday high of N461.00 and a low of N791.00 before closing at N702.19 per $1 on Thursday.
