NAIROBI, May 5 (Reuters) - Kenya's shilling was stable on Friday, and traders said it was forecast to lose ground, undermined by increased demand for dollars from oil retailers and other importers. At 0729 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 136.30/50 per dollar, compared with 136.35/55 at Thursday's close. The shilling touched a new all-time low of 136.55/75 per dollar early in Friday's session before recovering some of its losses, Refinitiv data showed.
