    · Bonds – Relatively quiet trading day prices largely stable across the curve.
    · Bills – Another OMO auction on Thursday in 189 day bills closing at 16.10%. Secondary market though relatively thin on the back of the OMO offerings still has the short end being bough with the 91 day related maturities down around 50bps. Most of the demand though is feeding into the auctions as opposed to the secondary market. The auctions will likely continue as long as the money market stays liquid.

    OBB & unsecured rates are 13.00% & 13.75% respectively. Rates are being kept low by the liquidity in the money markets at the moment with the market up about N213bio to open yesterday. ”

    · Interbank Foreign Exchange – The Nigerian naira strengthened against the U.S dollar on the interbank market yesterday as there was a sale of $ 150 mio by one of the oil majors. This directly boosted the dollar supply at the interbank and helped strengthened the value of the local currency

    International News
