Analyst View
Naira appreciated marginally at the official window from its previous rate of N413.68/$1 to a new  N413.28/$1 as of Tuesday, September 21, 2021 however, the Naira depreciated further at the black market-end of the market to N575/1$ from the previous N574/$1. The Naira will definitely exceed  N600/$1 before the end of the year, Nigerians should explore local alternatives as the cost of foreign inputs is now over the roof. The fallen value of the Naira at the black market rides on hoarding and speculative purchases.

The global crypto market nosedived on Tuesday as investors in the digital assets lost over $96 billion to bearish sentiments in the market, triggered by a downturn recorded in the price of Bitcoin, which slumped by 5.14%.
