On Monday, December 15, 2025, the naira exchanged at ₦1,485 per US dollar across Nigeria.
This new figure shows a decline compared to Sunday, December 14, when the currency traded at ₦1,482 per dollar. The movement represents a slight depreciation, indicating that the naira weakened marginally compared to the previous day.
Analysts note that an exchange-rate movement like this suggests renewed pressure on the local currency, even if minimal. Some observers say the drop may be linked to increased dollar demand, tighter supply in the market, or cautious sentiment among traders at the start of the new week. 
The movement also highlights that, despite recent fluctuations, the foreign exchange market remains highly sensitive to demand patterns, investor confidence, and external inflows. Experts caution that while the naira weakened today, short-term changes like this are common in the current FX environment and do not necessarily signal a sustained trend.
For businesses, particularly importers, the weaker naira could slightly increase cost considerations in procurement and pricing. Many firms are expected to continue monitoring market developments closely to determine whether the depreciation will persist or reverse in subsequent sessions.
Manufacturers, retailers, and service providers are still operating cautiously within the present FX climate, as long-term stability remains dependent on improved dollar supply, consistent policy direction, and stronger investor confidence.
At ₦1,485 per dollar, the naira has worsened compared to the previous day, reflecting a mild depreciation and underscoring the fragile balance within the foreign exchange market.
