NAIROBI, Feb 16 (Reuters) - The Kenyan shilling eased against the dollar on Thursday as foreign-currency demand from the oil sector outstripped dollar inflows from tea exporters and remittances, traders said. At 0936 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 125.50/70 per U.S. dollar, compared to 125.45/65 at the close of trading on Wednesday. Refinitiv data showed the shilling touched a fresh record low of 125.60/80 on Thursday, before paring some of its losses. ...........................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 ..........................
