Nigeria’s long-dated Eurobond yield rises above 8% on global rates pressure

Nigeria's long-dated Eurobond yield has risen above 8 percent. This increase is attributed to higher US Treasury yields and persistent inflation concerns, according to BusinessDay Nigeria.

The country's stock market has been surging, with the NGX all-share index year-to-date return at 56.93% as of August, as reported by TechCabal. However, foreign investors' participation in the market has been limited, with foreign transactions falling 29% between June and July.

Foreign investors accounted for just 5.6% of total transactions in July, based on the NGX's Domestic and Foreign Portfolio Investment Report, cited by TechCabal.
