Oil price volatility negatively impacts Nigeria's exchange rate, affecting investor confidence.
The study looked at how changes in crude oil prices affect Nigeria's exchange rate. They used data from 2000 to 2020 and found that global economic factors mainly influence Nigeria's stock market. When oil prices are unstable, investors tend to hold onto cash instead of investing. The exchange rate is negatively impacted by sudden changes in oil prices but responds positively to oil price volatility. However, the study showed that the control of oil price volatility on the exchange rate is not significant.
