NAIROBI, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Kenya's shilling weakened on Monday to a new all-time low, hurt by increased dollar demand from the energy and manufacturing sectors amid low foreign-currency inflows, traders said. At 0743 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 126.00/20 per U.S. dollar, compared with Friday's close of 125.50/70. ...........................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 ..........................
