平行市場奈拉兌美元匯率暴跌70奈拉，收在1,120奈拉/1美元；官方市場奈拉兌美元匯率也下跌7.6%，收在1,154.08奈拉/1美元。然而，現貨市場奈拉兌英鎊和歐元保持穩定。加密貨幣市場中，比特幣上漲1.3%，Solana上漲2.9%，而瑞波幣、卡爾達諾、萊特幣、幣安幣、狗狗幣和以太幣都下跌。

Nigeria's Naira Plunges Sharply Against US Dollar, Hits N1,120/$1 in Parallel Market

奈及利亞奈拉兌美元大幅暴跌，在平行市場觸及 N1,120/1 美元

The Nigerian naira suffered a significant devaluation on Thursday, dropping by N70 against the US dollar in the parallel market segment of the foreign exchange market. This brings the exchange rate to N1,120/$1, a stark contrast to the previous closing price of N1,050/$1 on Wednesday.

奈及利亞奈拉週四大幅貶值，在外匯市場平行市場中兌美元匯率下跌70奈拉。這使得匯率達到 N1,120/1 美元，與週三之前的收盤價 N1,050/1 美元形成鮮明對比。

The naira's decline was equally evident in the official market, known as the Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (NAFEM). It depreciated by 7.6 percent or N7.78 against the greenback, closing at N1,154.08/$1 compared to N1,072.74/$1 the previous day.

奈拉的下跌在被稱為尼日利亞自治外匯市場（NAFEM）的官方市場上也同樣明顯。兌美元貶值 7.6%，即 N7.78，收於 N1,154.08/1 美元，而前一天為 N1,072.74/1 美元。

Despite recent efforts by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stabilize the currency, the naira has experienced renewed volatility in recent days. On the positive side, the currency managed to hold steady against the British Pound Sterling and the Euro in the spot market on Thursday, closing at N1,147.53/£1 and N1,220.17/€1, respectively.

儘管尼日利亞中央銀行（CBN）最近努力穩定貨幣，但奈拉最近幾天再次出現波動。從正面的方面來看，週四現貨市場上英鎊兌歐元匯率保持穩定，分別收在 N1,147.53/£1 和 N1,220.17/€1。

However, forex turnover declined significantly, with a drop of $3.50 million or 1.85 percent to $185.62 million from the $189.12 million recorded a day earlier. This suggests reduced market activity and increased uncertainty among market participants.

然而，外匯成交額大幅下降，從前一天的 1.8912 億美元下降到 1.8562 億美元，下降了 350 萬美元，降幅為 1.85%。這顯示市場活動減少，市場參與者的不確定性增加。

In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin (BTC) exhibited a slight uptick of 1.3 percent ahead of its upcoming halving event, which is expected to remove a substantial number of coins from circulation. However, analysts from Wall Street giant JPMorgan (JPM) caution that the coin's price may weaken following the halving, which is scheduled to occur around April 19-20.

在加密貨幣市場，比特幣 (BTC) 在即將到來的減半事件之前小幅上漲了 1.3%，預計減半事件將導致大量比特幣退出流通。然而，華爾街巨頭摩根大通 (JPM) 的分析師警告稱，減半後代幣的價格可能會走弱，減半預計在 4 月 19 日至 20 日左右發生。

Other cryptocurrencies experienced mixed fortunes on Thursday. Solana (SOL) gained 2.9 percent during the session, while Ripple (XRP) lost 1.8 percent and Cardano (ADA) slipped by 1.6 percent. Litecoin (LTC) declined by 1.1 percent, Binance Coin (BNB) shed 0.8 percent, Dogecoin (DOGE) fell by 0.3 percent, and Ethereum (ETH) depreciated by 0.1 percent. Stablecoins such as the US Dollar Tether (USDT) and the US Dollar Coin (USDC) remained unchanged at $1.00 each.

週四，其他加密貨幣的命運參差不齊。 Solana (SOL) 在盤中上漲 2.9%，Ripple (XRP) 下跌 1.8%，Cardano (ADA) 下跌 1.6%。萊特幣 (LTC) 下跌 1.1%，幣安幣 (BNB) 下跌 0.8%，狗狗幣 (DOGE) 下跌 0.3%，以太幣 (ETH) 貶值 0.1%。美元 Tether (USDT) 和美元硬幣 (USDC) 等穩定幣維持在每枚 1.00 美元不變。

The continued depreciation of the naira against the US dollar has raised concerns among economic analysts and businesses. The currency's instability can impact import costs, foreign investment, and overall economic growth. The CBN has reiterated its commitment to maintaining exchange rate stability, but it remains to be seen whether the apex bank's interventions can effectively address the underlying factors driving the naira's weakness.

奈拉兌美元持續貶值引起經濟分析師和企業界的擔憂。貨幣不穩定可能影響進口成本、外國投資和整體經濟成長。央行重申了維持匯率穩定的承諾，但央行的干預能否有效解決奈拉疲軟的根本因素仍有待觀察。
