J.P. Morgan warns investors of rising risks for Nigeria as oil prices fall and Trump’s tariffs unsettle markets.
J.P. Morgan warns investors of rising risks for Nigeria as oil prices fall and Trump’s tariffs unsettle markets, signaling potential challenges for the nation’s economy.
The U.S. investment bank released a research note on April 9, 2025 which promoted exiting OMO bills positions because it predicted a drop in Brent crude below $60 per barrel and intensified worldwide trade disputes.
J.P. Morgan maintained its support for Nigeria’s carry trade operation before but stopped this recommendation since the nation offered high yields with stable conditions.
Bank analysts changed their strategy because the global developments along with Donald Trump’s potential presidential return cause increased financial uncertainty.
The decline in oil prices together with growing international trade conflicts creates substantial macroeconomic risks for Nigeria because it diminishes investor trust and weakens economic stability.
