rate closed flat at N380.69/USD at the
Interbank Foreign Exchange market amid weekly injections of USD210 million by CBN into the forex market: USD100 million was allocated to Wholesale Secondary Market Intervention Sales (SMIS), USD55 million was allocated to Small and Medium Scale Enterprises and USD55 million was sold for invisibles.

Elsewhere, the Naira/USD exchange rate fell (Naira appreciated) for most of the foreign exchange forward contracts: 2 months, 6 months and 12 months exchange rates fell by 0.09%, 0.01% and 0.13% to close at N416.32/USD, N428.59/USD and N447.69/USD respectively.

In the new week, we expect Naira to weaken against the USD at most FX Windows as crude oil prices falls amid fresh concerns about another wave of the COVID-19 pandemics.
