Analysts said the modest gain reflected improved liquidity and continued CBN’s interventions aimed at stabilising the foreign exchange market amid cautious investor sentiment.

Market watchers also expect movements to remain gradual in the near term, as authorities balance reforms with efforts to boost confidence nationwide.

Trading volumes were moderate, with dealers monitoring policy signals closely.
