The naira experienced a decline in value at the parallel section of the foreign exchange (FX) market on Wednesday, interrupting its recent appreciation trend.

From May 17 to May 20, the naira saw a significant appreciation, strengthening from N1,550/$ to N1,490 per dollar.

However, on Wednesday, the local currency depreciated by 1.66 percent, falling to N1,505 against the dollar.

Bureau de Change (BDC) operators, commonly referred to as street traders, reported the buying price of the dollar at N1,480 and the selling price at N1,505, resulting in a profit margin of N25.
