The average on Nigerian Treasury bills increased in the secondary market as investors continued to dump the short term borrowing instruments. Investors’ moods swung due to sustained spot rates decline at the primary market.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) hiked spot rate on one year treasury bills instrument sold to investors by 18 basis points at the primary market auction (PMA) last week. The latest uptick in spot rate is in contrast to pattern seen in the recent past with successive price down at the long dated treasury bills issuance.
