NAIROBI, March 15 (Reuters) - The Kenyan shilling edged lower on Wednesday as persistent foreign-currency demand
from the oil and manufacturing sectors outmatched muted supply
from aid agencies, tourism operators and remittances, traders
said.
At 0836 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at
129.90/130.10 per U.S. dollar, compared with Tuesday's closing
rate of 129.80/130.00.
Refinitiv data showed the shilling hit another record low on
Wednesday, with year-to-date losses standing at about 5% versus
the dollar.
