NAIROBI, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Kenya's shilling hit a
new record low against the dollar on Monday before recovering,
with increased foreign-currency demand from importers especially
in the energy sector applying pressure, traders said.
At 0718 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at
124.60/80 per dollar, compared with Friday's close of 124.65/85.
In early trade the shilling touched a fresh all-time low of
124.85/125.05 per dollar, Refinitiv data showed.
The shilling struck repeated record lows last year and has
carried over that trend into 2023. ...........................Shilling spot rates .....................Shilling forward rates .......................Cross rates ..................................Local contributors .......................Central Bank of Kenya Index .....................Kenyan Bonds contributor pages ...............Treasury bill yields ..................Central bank open market operations .........................Horizontal repo transactions , ................Daily interbank lending rate .............................Kenya Bond pricing .................................NSE-20 Share Index .................................NSE-25 Share Index .................................NSE All Share Index ...........................FT NSE Kenya 15 Index ..........................
