  "summary": "Deutsche Bank has added Nigeria to its Frontier FX Watchlist, signaling growing investor interest in the naira. The bank considers the naira undervalued and attractive for carry-trade investors who seek to profit from differences in interest rates between currencies. In September, the Nigerian naira appreciated by 0.45% against the US dollar, strengthening from N1,335.50/$ at the end of August to N1,329.50/$ at the end of September. Deutsche Bank's decision comes after global index provider FTSE Russell reclassified Nigeria from Unclassified to Frontier Market status, effective September 21, 2026.",
