NAIROBI, Feb 17 (Reuters) - The Kenyan shilling waned against the dollar on Friday, as foreign-currency demand
across all sectors outpaced inflows.
At 0932 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at
125.80/126.00 per U.S. dollar, compared to 125.70/90 at the
close of trading on Thursday.
Refinitiv data showed the shilling touched a new record low
on Friday, having lost around 2% against the dollar since the
start of the year.
"We're seeing a bit of demand from all sectors. Supply is
very muted," said a currency trader at a commercial bank. ...........................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 ..........................
