FX: Interbank Market opened with indicative levels quoted within $/NGN 315.00- $/NGN 320.50 range.
FIXED INCOME: The yields in the T-bills market opened wider this week, following CBN’s OMO activity at the close of last week.
Money Market is about N200bn short, but the N581bn Aug2016 bond maturity today should take liquidity back to positive territory. Bond market was also very muted yesterday, price action was the main characteristic of the day, and a very low traded volume level. Market is looking forward to both Bond and T-bill auction on Wednesday.
U.S: The dollar weakened versus all of its major peers and gold jumped the most in two weeks as prospects for a U.S. interest-rate hike this year remained subdued.
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index sank to its weakest since June ahead of U.S. reports on housing starts, inflation and industrial output. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index fell the most in two weeks as U.S. stock index futures declined. Japanese shares led losses in Asia as the yen climbed toward 100 per dollar. Crude snapped a three-day surge before American stockpiles data and nickel fell following its biggest jump of the month.
U.K: U.K. inflation accelerated in July and there were signs of further price pressures with the weak pound leading to the biggest jump in import costs in more than four years.
Consumer-price growth picked up to 0.6% from 0.5% in June, the Office of National Statistics said in London on Tuesday. Economists had forecast that the rate would stay at 0.5%, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey. Input costs surged an annual 4.3% last month, ending 32 consecutive declines, while import prices jumped the most since 2011.
After weeks of surveys, the inflation numbers mark the first hard numbers on the economy in the wake of the Brexit vote in June.
COMMODITIES: Oil halted its advance below $46 a barrel after the biggest three-day gain since April as Nigeria’s oil minister signaled the prospect of production cuts from OPEC was unlikely.
Futures slid as much as 0.8% in New York after rising 9.7% the previous three sessions following comments by Saudi Arabia’s energy minister that it’s prepared to discuss stabilizing the market. Optimism by Nigeria’s Minister of State for Petroleum Emmanuel Kachikwu that OPEC will trim output is “quite sparse,”. U.S. crude stockpiles probably rose last week, a Bloomberg survey shows before government data Wednesday.
