NAIROBI, Feb 23 (Reuters) - The Kenyan shilling fell on Thursday, undermined by persistent dollar demand across
all sectors of the economy although demand was strongest from
energy and manufacturing firms, traders said.
At 0734 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at
126.15/35 per U.S. dollar, compared with Wednesday's close of
126.00/20.
In early trade, the shilling, which has hit a series of new
all-time lows this year, touched a fresh record low of 126.50/70
per dollar before recouping some of its losses, Refinitiv data
showed.
The shilling is down 2.3% so far this year. ...........................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 ..........................
