The Nigerian naira traded at ₦1,373.25 to the United States dollar in the official foreign exchange market on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, reflecting a relatively stable performance amid sustained market confidence.
Data released by the Central Bank of Nigeria showed that the latest Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market rate remained within a narrow band, with official transactions ranging between ₦1,370 and ₦1,372 during the trading session.
In the parallel market, the dollar exchanged between ₦1,395 and ₦1,405, with dealers buying at about ₦1,395 and selling near ₦1,405, indicating limited volatility.
Currency traders in major commercial centres, including Lagos, also quoted the dollar at around ₦1,385, reflecting slight regional variations.
