NAIROBI, May 2 (Reuters) - Kenya's shilling held
steady on Tuesday, but it was expected to weaken due to
increased demand for dollars from energy importers, traders
said.
At 0810 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at
135.90/136.10 per dollar, the same as Friday's closing rate.
Markets were closed on Monday for Labour Day.
In Tuesday's trade, the shilling touched a new all-time low
of 136.20/40 per dollar before retracing its losses.
