As the
coronavirus menace dug its vicious talons deeper into Africa’s largest economy,
the Central Bank of Nigeria wasted no time in depreciating the official Naira rate
by 5.5% to 381 per Dollar.

In the
face of Dollar shortages, depressed Oil prices and mounting pressures from
external lenders the CBN remains pressured to unify the multiple exchange rates
to improve transparency. A single exchange may eliminate an element of
confusion and even attract foreign exchange investment, but such may come at
the expense of rising inflation.
The
exchange rate at the black market has already tumbled to a three-year low,
trading around N463 per Dollar following the official devaluation. With
consumer prices hitting 12.4% in May, signs of rising inflationary pressure
fueled by a weaker Naira is the last thing Africa’s largest economy needs.
Local stocks trading flat this week with the Nigerian All-Share Index down
-0.24% since Monday.

Oil
prices were mostly depressed this week thanks to rising coronavirus cases
across the globe. Fears around another round of lockdowns hitting demand for
Oil continues to haunt attraction towards the commodity and this may remain a
key theme ahead of the OPEC decision next week.
If the
cartel decides to extend the historic production cuts of 9.7 million barrels
per day beyond July, Oil prices have the potential to edge higher. However, a
disappointing outcome to the meeting with the cartel reverting to previous
supply cut of 7.6 million barrels per day could send Oil prices tumbling.

Overall,
this was another week defined by COVID-19, volatile global equity markets and
sharp changes in risk sentiment. Gold is likely to remain the talk of the town
after appreciating to levels not seen in 9 years. With coronavirus related
developments, trade uncertainty and global growth fears among many negative
themes straining sentiment, the precious metal has the potential to shine this
quarter.
