The Nigerian naira has continued its upward trend against the British pound, currently trading at N1,786 per £. This progression comes as the naira breaks below the N1,800 resistance level against the British pound, which could trigger long stop-loss orders, particularly in the British pound market. This movement can be attributed to robust fundamentals within Nigeria's economy and the growing influence of market forces, with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) focusing on liquidity and price discovery instead of maintaining a fixed peg.
The naira's strength is further supported by strong inflows from diaspora remittances, crude oil export proceeds, and autonomous flows. Meanwhile, the British Pound Sterling has experienced a decline, trading just above five-week lows near $1.3465, likely due to weak employment data in the UK and the ongoing negative divergence in monetary policy between the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve.
Market participants are now eagerly awaiting the Bank of England's statement following its monetary policy meeting, while also keeping an eye on inflation data that could impact the likelihood of an interest rate hike before the end of the year.
