Naira Exchange Rate Today — The Nigerian foreign exchange market remained under close watch on Sunday, June 14, 2026, as the naira continued to trade within a narrow range against major global currencies.
At the official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM), the naira traded around ₦1,360–₦1,370 per US dollar, according to recent Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) data. Meanwhile, rates in the parallel market, popularly known as the black market, remained slightly higher as demand for foreign currency continued to outpace supply. 0
Market analysts noted that the gap between official and parallel market rates has narrowed significantly compared to previous years. However, sustained demand from importers, travelers, and businesses continues to influence exchange rate movements.
“The naira remains vulnerable to external pressures, but ongoing reforms in the foreign exchange market are helping to improve liquidity and transparency,” a financial analyst said.
Furthermore, traders expect exchange rate volatility to persist throughout the week as investors monitor global economic developments, oil prices, and foreign capital inflows into Nigeria.
