Re: How Much Did You Exchange The Dollar For Today? by ThisisBuhari: 8:01am On Apr 05, 2015
I better sale my dollars now at the bank rate of 197, even though I will lose 30 naira per dollar. Chai! Speculation is a risky business. You gain or lose woefully whichever way.

CBN may revalue Naira next week.

NAIRA RECOVERY AT BLACK MARKET ...Nigeria' economy may experience investments inflow in 2015 as the local currency appreciates by over 7percent . The battered naira which sold for between 228 and 230 to a dollar at Bureau de Change (BDC) weeks to the just concluded presidential election, has appreciated to about 208 -211 to the dollar. Though the inter-bank rate still stands at 197, experts are of the opinion that the exchange rate at BDC can go below 200, as many individuals who stockpiled dollars during the presidential campaigns are already selling it after the poll.
In the same vein, the Acting President, Association of Bureau de Change Operators of Nigeria, Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, said he was expecting the Naira to appreciate further following the peaceful conclusion of the presidential election, which allays the fear and uncertainty in the financial market.
He added, “I think the trend would continue for the Naira to appreciate further from 211 to 197 currently at the interbank market rate because a peaceful economic environment is what we are witnessing as aftermath of the presidential poll”.
It could be recalled that weeks to the presidential election, the economy witnessed huge investments outflow, as foreign investors pulled N846.53 billion from Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). Within the same period, another investments outflow hit Nigeria, as investors withdrew N4.9trillion from the economy.
Speaking, the Chairman Toiletries and Cosmetics (T&C) group of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) Mr. Ikpong Umoh, explained that the tension and speculation experienced in the country before the presidential election worsen devaluation of the Naira.
He said, “Already the declining oil prices and devaluation of Naira brought crisis into the economic system. So, the tension of what happens and who wins in the presidential poll made the situation worse, as many people were afraid that the economy may collapse completely. Aside from high exchange rate, many investors withdrew their money and investments from Nigeria because they were afraid of losing their investments. With the peaceful outcome of the presidential poll, we expect that in the next four years, the econo

We are exchanging @185 to the Dollar Now. There is so Much uncertainty around the USD for the Following Reason.

1. There is Fear that Gen. Buhari will most certainly insist all imports be dominated in naira. That will shave off about N50 from the Dollar Value over the Next Three Months.

2. The American Federal Reserve will not raise Interest Rates with the 126,000 Non Farm Pay Report for March. Employment is cooling and the Weakness of the USD has began, Holding Dollar now is Dangerous.

3. The Commercial banks will never Buy or Sell USD for regulatory reasons, However, Most of us in the BDC Market are already getting a feeler that a massive price change is in the offering. Certain statement from Gen. Buhari will spike up the Value of the NGN....

Re: How Much Did You Exchange The Dollar For Today? by retsonbiz(m): 9:16am On Apr 06, 2015
Spike up the Value of the Naira. Buhari is for a Strong Naira and ensuring that all imports are denominated in Nigerian Naira. Immediately the Nigerian Central Bank change the language to import restriction and the desired for a strong Naira over the next few weeks, The Naira will appreciate significantly.

We are forecasting $1: to between N165-185 within the next 4 weeks and About N150 by the end of the Year.

The CBN is already warning BDC's and Commercial bankers on holding excessive Foreign Exchange.

The naira will rise further against the dollar on the parallel market this week, analysts and foreign exchange dealers have predicted.
They argued that the peaceful outcome of the presidential election and the hard stance of the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, against corruption and economic leakages had boosted investor confidence in the economy.
The naira, which fell to a record high of 228 against the greenback before the election, rose to 210 on Friday.
However, the local currency traded within the 199-199.50 band on the official interbank market, where it has been stuck since February, after the Central Bank of Nigeria pegged the rate.
The Acting President, Association of Bureau de Change Operators of Nigeria, Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, told our correspondent he expected the local currency to rise further this week and beyond.
Gwadabe, who said the naira had firmed to 204 against the dollar on Thursday, believe the trend would continue this week, adding that “the naira may appreciate to something below 197 currently at the interbank market.”
Foreign exchange dealers said the demand for dollar had reduced compared to what happened before the presidential election.
A currency analyst at Ecobank Nigeria, Mr. Kunle Ezun, had said the market was trading around the general elections and Buhari’s person.
He had said, “The market has been trading around sentiments and emotions, this is why the naira is appreciating; nothing has really changed in the fundamentals. There was high demand for the dollar before the election because some people predicted post-election violence. Now, the game is over and there is no violence. So, the demand for the greenback is abating.
“The market is also trading around the sentiment that Buhari will fight corruption, strengthen institutions and eliminate wastages. But after his inauguration, the market will trade around the fundamentals like the oil price, external reserves and others.”
In a sign of relief, individuals who had stockpiled dollars to hedge against political risk fearing the election could be marred by violence, were exchanging their funds for the naira, Reuters reported.
“We are not going to see much of movement in the pricing of the naira at the interbank market until the central bank reviews the present measure which has stagnated the rate,” a dealer said.
The naira-dollar exchange rate has yet to witness any change at the interbank market.
According to Reuters, the Kenyan shilling is expected to weaken, hurt by negative sentiment after a deadly attack by al Shaabab near the frontier with Somalia threatened its tourism fortunes.
The shilling has lost ground steadily since last year, partly due to a downturn in tourism following attacks by al Shabaab militants. Tourists are a leading source of hard currencies for East Africa’s biggest economy.
The shilling could trade between 92.50-93.20 to the dollar, with a move beyond 93 likely triggering intervention from the central bank, National Bank of Kenya trader, Chris Muiga, said.
Traders said a government bond could lend support to the shilling. Kenya’s central bank has invited bids for a 12-year infrastructure bond worth 25 billion shillings ($270m).
Ghana’s cedi could be buoyed by demand from businesses looking to settle domestic quarterly bills.
The West African currency has weakened by about 11 per cent since January, but looks set to reverse some of those losses, partly helped by a $940m International Monetary Fund aid deal this month that is expected to unlock additional offshore inflows.
“Liquidity has been weak on the local market … and this is likely to hold the dollar/cedi at current levels next week,” Barclays Bank analyst, Michael Akpakli, said.
The outlook points to a firmer Zambian kwacha this week, after the central bank hiked the amount of money commercial banks should deposit with the regulator and as the government plans to resolve a mining tax row with foreign investors.
The Bank of Zambia will raise the statutory reserve ratio to 18 per cent from 14 per cent on Wednesday.
“The increase will reduce liquidity and that should render support to the kwacha,” analyst Maambo Hamaundu told Reuters.
President Edgar Lungu last month directed the finance and mining ministers to adjust royalties on mining firms by April 8, saying the copper-producer could consider temporarily reverting to the less punitive tax regime which was in place in 2014.
Traders predicted a stable shilling on tightening liquidity but some investors were concerned about the impact of a planned increase in government spending.
The Ugandan government is planning to increase spending before the 2016 elections, although the central Bank of Uganda has vowed to use its key interest rate to keep inflation in check.
The shilling traded at 3,000/3,016, weaker than 2,975/2,985 a week ago.
“Liquidity is getting tighter in the market, we see this tightening slowing any weakening of the unit (shilling),” a trader at Bank of Africa, Ahmed Kalule, said.

Re: How Much Did You Exchange The Dollar For Today? by sholatech(m): 5:33pm On Apr 06, 2015
Interesting analysis you gave, highly revealing. But with oil price sludge and given a strong naira, how does the FG get enough funds to actualize the budget especially for infrastructure financing? Also, how will imports be in Naira ? with dwindling reserves to support imports which presently now can only support 4-months imports
