Naira slips to N1,368.22/$1 at official market as FX demand stays elevated

AI Market Summary
Nigeria's naira weakened at both official (NFEM) and parallel markets, with continued FX demand pressuring the currency despite interventions. Interbank turnover rose slightly while external reserves edged lower, pointing to persistent liquidity and balance-of-payments strain. The move also coincided with naira softness versus GBP and EUR, reinforcing near-term EM FX risk sensitivity even as the CBN frames recent stability as market-driven.
