Yuletide Season: Naira Weakens Against Dollar At Parallel Market

Nigerian naira weakened against the dollar at the parallel market to trade at N570 amid demand for the currency during the yuletide season.

This is a drop of N5 or 0.9 percent from the N565 it traded last week.

Street traders across forex markets in Lagos quoted the rate at N570 to a dollar on Thursday.

A parallel market (street market) is characterised by noncompliant behaviour with an institutional set of rules.
