The figure (N1,040) represents a depreciation of N40 or 4.0 per cent from the N1,000 it traded two weeks ago.
The street traders put the buying price of the dollar at N1,025 and the selling price at N1,045, leaving a N25 profit margin.
One of the sources said, “The dollar is not readily available. It is scarce.”
