What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Gold prices in Nigeria recently declined to approximately N180,000 per gram. This fall occurred amid a strengthening Nigerian currency and a hawkish stance from the Federal Open Market Committee. The local gold price is fundamentally calculated by multiplying the global gold price by the USD/NGN exchange rate, which stood between N1,320/$ and N1,331/$ in the foreign exchange market.

Currency movement is a highly volatile driver for Nigerian gold buyers. A hawkish US Federal Reserve generally exerts negative pressure on dollar-denominated global gold prices. For Nigerian investors, physical gold serves as a crucial hedge against the naira's eroding purchasing power.
