Monday’s appreciation continues the Naira’s positive momentum, offering a potential signal of stabilisation in the foreign exchange market after recent volatility.

Analysts attribute the currency’s improvement to sustained policy measures by the Central Bank, improved market liquidity, and increased foreign exchange inflows.

Market watchers will be monitoring whether the trend continues throughout the week as the CBN maintains tight monetary policies to support the currency and control inflation. (NAN)
