Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 15th June 2026

The Nigerian naira maintained a relatively stable position in the black market today, with the US dollar trading at approximately ₦1,397 for buying and ₦1,405 for selling, according to widely tracked parallel market indicators.

This comes after minor fluctuations observed over the weekend and into early this week, where rates hovered around ₦1,392 to ₦1,400 in various dealer reports from cities like Abuja and Onitsha. The parallel market premium over the official rate remains noticeable, reflecting ongoing demand pressures from importers, travelers, and businesses seeking foreign currency outside regulated channels.

For comparison, the Central Bank of Nigeria’s official rate stood at ₦1,363.83 per dollar, underscoring the persistent gap between formal and informal forex segments. Similar trends appeared in other major currencies, with the British pound exchanging at roughly ₦1,850 buy and ₦1,870 sell, while the euro was quoted around ₦1,587 buy and ₦1,607 sell in street dealings.

Market participants attribute the current steadiness to a balance in dollar supply from remittances and some official interventions, though analysts warn that broader economic factors such as inflation, oil revenue inflows, and global commodity prices could influence volatility in the coming days. Traders in key hubs continue to advise caution, recommending verification of live quotes before transactions, as rates can shift quickly based on location and volume.

As Nigeria navigates its forex dynamics, stakeholders are watching policy developments closely for any measures that might narrow the divide between official and parallel rates. For now, the black market serves as a key barometer for everyday currency needs across the country.
