The naira was traded at N418, N531 and N461 to the Dollar, Pound Sterling and Euro respectively at the parallel market on Tuesday.
Traders said scarcity of foreign exchange was still taking toll on the market.

“Evil forces at the market under the mask of speculators are profiting from the hike in the dollar rate.”
