Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 13th June 2026

On Saturday, June 13, 2026, the Nigerian naira held firm in the parallel market against the US dollar, with dealers quoting the greenback at approximately ₦1,400 for selling and around ₦1,390 for buying. This level reflects a period of relative calm in the foreign exchange segment following minor fluctuations observed earlier in the week.

Market participants in key trading hubs such as Lagos, Abuja, and Kano reported consistent demand from importers and individuals seeking dollars for travel and other obligations. Despite the persistent gap between official and parallel rates, activity remained orderly, with no sharp spikes noted in early trading. The Central Bank of Nigeria’s official rate hovered near ₦1,362 per dollar, underscoring the ongoing premium in the black market.

Analysts attribute the current steadiness to improved dollar liquidity from recent interventions and remittances, though underlying pressures from import bills continue to influence sentiment. Currency traders advised caution, noting that weekend volumes are typically lower, which could lead to slight adjustments depending on fresh inflows or news from global markets.

For context, the naira has shown resilience in recent sessions after experiencing upward pressure on the dollar earlier in June. Other major currencies followed suit: the British pound traded around ₦1,880 selling, while the euro was quoted near ₦1,620 in the parallel market.

Experts recommend that businesses and individuals monitor updates closely, as forex conditions can shift rapidly with policy announcements or external economic developments. Those planning transactions are encouraged to engage licensed operators to avoid risks associated with unregulated exchanges. As Nigeria navigates its forex challenges, sustained stability in the parallel market could signal positive steps toward broader economic confidence.
