  • Oil Prices⁚ Nigeria is a major oil exporter‚ and fluctuations in global oil prices directly impact the Naira's value․ Higher oil prices typically strengthen the Naira‚ while lower prices weaken it․
  • Interest Rates⁚ Interest rate differentials between Nigeria and the United States can influence the Naira-Dollar exchange rate․ Higher interest rates in Nigeria may attract foreign investment‚ boosting the Naira's value․
  • Inflation⁚ Higher inflation in Nigeria compared to the United States can lead to a depreciation of the Naira․ Inflation erodes the purchasing power of a currency․
  • Government Policies⁚ Policies related to trade‚ investment‚ and foreign exchange management can impact the Naira-Dollar rate․ Policies that encourage foreign investment or promote exports can strengthen the Naira․
