Nigeria Eurobonds rebound as investor confidence returns
Nigeria’s Eurobonds have bounced back after a recent selloff, with investors showing renewed interest in the country’s dollar-denominated debt. Improved sentiment led to higher bond prices and lower yields, signaling greater confidence in Nigeria’s credit profile. Both Meristem Securities and CSL Stockbrokers highlighted the role of stronger macroeconomic fundamentals and firm crude oil prices in driving the recovery. The market’s focus was on bonds maturing in 2027, 2038, and 2051.
