From the above quote,how low do you think Access,UBA and FBNH will reach?..................
Well one of my main yardstick for measuring Stocks is via their year lowest lows bcoz i believe history has a way of repeating itself.

In Feb 2012 after the Fuel subsidy removal palaver UBA traded below #1:70k.

While that of FBNH since Arisekola who happen to be their major shareholder died, I see their case turning to the likes of UBN.

And if what I'm thinking happens to the Elephant it will definitely drag Access and every other banks down.

Bottomline if you areant in for a long term atleast 2yrs and above better pack ur bags and baggages. So you can always have a pleasant night rest cool . I rest my case.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/08/naira-depreciates-by-n7/

despite CBN’s intervention on banks’ dollar payment


The naira yesterday could not sustain the gains recorded on Wednesday, as it depreciated against the US dollar in the parallel market, closing at N222 to a dollar. This represents a depreciation of N7 from Wednesday when a dollar exchanged for N215 in Lagos and Kano, and N220 to a dollar in Abuja.

Also, the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN yesterday directed that banks should pay for their dollar purchases 48 hours in advance.

Sources from the Bureaux De Changes (BDCS) said that the gains recorded on Wednesday could not be sustained yesterday due to the fact that the dollar sold to them by the CBN was bought by people that felt that the naira would fall as the CBN may not be able to sustain the sale of more dollar to the parallel market.

Meanwhile, CBN has directed commercial banks to pay for their dollar purchases 48 hours in advance, after banning them from accepting foreign currency cash deposits to curb dollar demand and stem illicit financial flows.

Reacting to the *development, BDC operators said banks would struggle to buy dollar on behalf of customers, while the ban on dollar cash deposits would stem speculation.

The CBN in June curbed access to the interbank currency market to preserve its foreign reserves. The move led to the diversion of dollar demand to the black market, weakening the local currency.

“We are now required to deposit the naira equivalent of our total forex bids to the central bank 48 The measures led to a sharp increase in interest rates on the interbank market, traders said.
“The new measure has taken out some huge naira liquidity in the market and putting pressure on the cost of funds among banks,” one dealer said.

The overnight lending rate jumped to 50 percent on Thursday from 12 percent the previous day, amid low liquidity as some banks scrambled to stock up on the naira to back up their forex demand with the central bank.

Ugo Okoroafor, communications adviser to the CBN Governor had explained that the ban on dollar cash deposits with commercial banks was aimed at curbing the “increasing dollarisation of the economy.”

Meanwhile, on Wednesday , it was gathered that the CBN issued a circular to sell additional $30,000 to all licensed bureaux de change (BDCs) in the country on Friday, apart from the weekly sale of $30,000 that the apex banks normally makes to each BDC.

Earlier in the day on Wednesday , naira exchanged for as high as 235 to a dollar, but a parallel market source noted that the news of the CBN circular prompted various firms to hurriedly sell off the dollars in their possession leading to increase in supply of dollars to the market and thus crashing the exchange rate. The hurried sale is in anticipation that the market would be flooded by dollars when the additional sale is made by the apex bank on Friday. The official exchange rate remains pegged by CBN at N197 to a dollar.

Vanguard investigations on Tuesday had revealed that the naira depreciation was as a result of panic buying of the dollar in the hope that it would further depreciate. Sources said that there was hoarding of foreign currency going on at the unofficial market. They said that the appreciation of the naira last week was temporary and that the exchange rate was most likely to return to its previous level. The naira had last week appreciated by N35 fromN245 per dollar to N210, due to excess dollars in the market, occasioned by refusal of banks to allow foreign currency deposits into domiciliary accounts.

Sir, i assume u have a special interest in seeing dollars selling at your preferred rate? Have it at the backed of your mind that many speculators will be disappointed on this journey of exchange rate. For your information, Dollars to Naira as at today is traded between 211-213 at your parallel market.
Bear in mind i have a sizeable fund in NSE which I repatriated at an average rate of N170 per USD last year.

So since this year I'm not taking any chances at all in other words what im mostly after is STABILITY.

https://www.nairaland.com/2501718/naira-appreciation-why-nigerians-should

Is the value of the Naira really appreciating in the real sense or the CBN and the FG are playing pranks on Nigerians? Why are commodities still high in the market?

Ideal Situation
Ideally, customers operating domiciliary accounts will go to the banks, deposit their dollar and through that account they do whatever transaction that they deem necessary. The Banks inturn will take the dollars(and other foreign currencies) to the CBN.

The Buhari/Emefiele Situation
1. The CBN has stopped receiving dollars from banks, as a result the banks has stopped accepting dollars at the counter because their vaults are full.

2. Because of the restriction at 1(above) the demand for dollar reduces in the BDC. The BDCs seek every means to trade the currency including reducing the cost at the black market. The CBN will go to the press to scream "NAIRA IS APPRECIATING."

3. As a result of 1(above) the banks also refuse to request dollars from the CBN's foreign exchange reserve. The CBN will then come out to scream "RESERVE IS GROWING".

Is that the best way to manage the naira?

Salient Question and Effects:
1. What happens to a businessmen with domiciliary account seeking to deposit dollars and transfer to their partners abroad after buying the dollar from BDC or Bank?

2. The bank's refusal to accept dollar deposit means business transaction on that will be halted. Because no domiciliary account holder will be willing to withdraw from his account when he knows that he won't be able to make further deposit due to the CBN's policy except if his intention is solely for converting the dollar to naira for local transaction.

3. Instead of doing transactions from domiciliary account, businessmen will be left with no choice but to operate domiciliary account in neighbouring countries where they will be making transactions or resort to wiring money via Western Union in neighboring country.

4. As a result of 3(above) the cost of commodities will go UP because businesses will make up for the extra expenses. Also, that will mean reduction in business activities in the banks.

5. Should the above persist it will get to a certain point where there will be scarcity of the dollar in the market. When it get to that point, the dollar rate is astronomically shooooooot up in the market because demand will outweigh supply. At this point, the naira problem will be worse than it was.

Is The Naira Really Appreciating?
Make no mistake, the naira-dollar rate is yet to appreciate in the international market. As at May 29 the naira/$ rate was N199 in the market. The rate as at today Aug 5, 2015 is still N199. You can't appreciate a currency via the backdoor. Even the black market rate cannot be regulated through the back door.

What "Sane" Countries Does:
The CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele made it look like one can't deposit foreign currencies in cash in another country. This is contrary to the facts on ground. No country will shut down foreign currencies transactions in banks. Let me give two instances...

On February 27, 2015, the Central Bank of Egypt instituted a new policy to help the Egyptian pound. As part of the policy, Individuals and businesses are allowed a maximum of $10,000(or equivalent) deposit daily and $50,000(or equivalent) monthly. The measure would stop companies from buying large amounts of dollars from the black market and then depositing them briefly in banks in order to open letters of credit for imports.

In China the maximum daily deposit/withdrawal of foreign currencies is $10,000(or equivalent).

Is it not better to place a transactional limit for foreign currencies than discourage deposit completely(that will solve nothing)?
We don't produce, we import, we have no policy to promote local production nor infrastructures in place toencourage manufacturers, yet we expect the naira to appreciate. That's is no done anywhere.

Chai...always good to use any opportunity while it lasts. grin grin

The appreciation we saw for the last few days was more like a knee jerk reaction to the CBNs capital control of closing the travelex window that assists banks convert their FCY cash to wired/electronic form. Due to the insurance risk associated with holding the $$ cash in the banks vaults and the low economic value associated with holding $$ in cash, the banks decided to stop accepting $$ in cash.

Knowing how ingenious and entrepreneurial, Nigerians are, I know that some people have started figuring out how to take this $$ cash over the boarders to convert into electronic forms for onward wiring to various accounts. Once this is successfully achieved, Nigerian banks might not need the CBNs help with travelex and ala business continues for them. Curious to see what else the CBN has up its sleeves.

Interesting times ahead!!!
From your analysis I can see you are quite conversant with the game and if care is not taken when this CBN unconventional measures will boomerang USD will hit the rooftop smiley

http://thenationonlineng.net/chadians-ghanaians-others-storm-nigeria-for-dollars/


Currency speculators from Chad, Ghana, Benin Republic and other neighbouring countries yesterday trooped to Nigeria in a scramble for cheaper dollars.

The speculators, The Nation learnt, took advantage of the early morning drop in dollar rates — at N202 to the dollar in Abuja and N210 in Lagos — to make brisk purchases.

But the greenback recovered late afternoon to close at N208 and N222 in Abuja and Lagos.

Banks have been rejecting dollar deposits across the counter, but inflows from foreign accounts are allowed. They lenders said they are unable to transfer excess liquidity to their correspondent banks overseas which are restricting importers from using domiciliary accounts.

The naira reversed its gains against the dollar on the parallel market on Tuesday on increased demand for the U.S. currency from some importers, traders said.
The local currency was trading at 224 to the dollar on Tuesday, weaker than 216 the previous day. It was quoted at 240 a week ago.

NAIRA is already devaluing itself only a daily basis so Emeliefe can continue with his delusion.

The Central Bank of Nigeria will have to devalue the naira atsome stage, possibly by more than 15 per cent, global ratings agency, Standard & Poor’s, has said.The agency, however, said on Wednesday that it saw the adjustments as likely to be gradual.Local and foreign investors have seen a devaluation of the naira as long overdue for Nigeria, which has been battered by the recent tumble in crude oil prices.Following the naira devaluations in November and February, the CBN has recently focused on curbing access to foreign exchange at the interbank market for importers of some goods, introducing stringent restrictions three weeks ago.But the Director, Sovereign Ratings, Standard & Poor’s, RaviBhatia, said the recent measures by the CBN including stopping the sale of forex to importers of 41 items at the official forex markets could only delay the inevitable, Reuters reported.ADVERTISEMENT“Another devaluation is inevitable… they will have no option but to devalue,” said Bhatia at a media briefing.Many investors are positioning for a devaluation of around 15 per cent. Bhatia said that sounded “reasonable”, though even more might be needed.Non-deliverable forwards – derivatives used to hedge against future exchange rate moves – reflect expectations of currency weakening: six-month NDFs price the naira at 233 per dollar, some 18 per cent weaker than the CBN’s pegged rate of 196.95 on Tuesday.On Wednesday, the naira hit another record low of 242.5 against the dollar on the parallel market operated by dealers in bureau de change, down 0.42 per cent from Tuesday.The naira has been hitting record lows at the parallel market since the latest central bank measures introduced three weeks ago.Bhatia did not expect the adjustment to be done in one go.“I think at this stage the plan is to move in increments, not to do a ‘one big step’ devaluation like they would in the old days,” he said.The central bank has said it is in no mood to devalue the naira, given the risks to inflation from a weaker currency, and that it will not be focusing on the thinly traded parallel market when determining the exchange rate.Local and foreign investors have also been nervous that Nigeria may lose its place in the benchmark GBI-EM local currency debt index. Bhatia said this was a “real possibility”,although he expected the government to adjust policy enough to maintain its membership.“At some point they have to decide: do they want to go with their policies or do they want to stay in, and at the moment they are trying to do both, and it has worked,” said Bhatia.“But there are issues there, and it is a concern.”JPMorgan warned in June it could eject Nigeria from its benchmark index by year-end unless it restored liquidity to currency markets in a way that allowed foreign investors to transact with minimal hurdles.In March, Standard & Poor’s cut its rating on Nigeria to B+, changing its outlook to “stable”.
