Predictions on the dollar rebound; some say an easy 6%. But KES has a strong short term correlation with the US dollar index since Osama was buried in his "underwater cave". Can we rely the dollar index to set a medium term trend for KES?


foreign investors could be the biggest sellers in the NSE, they must have benefited big prior to the unprecedented 2007/08 elections bull run. With CBK relying on a floating dollar rate -we are left to rely on mkt factors such as global investment factor. And right now so many mkts are looking lucrative, case in point Egypt. Kenya's instability notwithstanding - The NSE seems set for gloomy days ahead with one or two unjustified spikes. NSE is Now good for long term only (3years and above). From this discussion, I have concluded that the dollar rate is neither here nor there
Do it today! Tomorrow is promise to no-one.

kes hit a new low against the usd today to trade at 86.70*80, though closed at 86.65*75 seems like we are headed to 88 or maybe 90 at this rate...cbk keep selling the local unit and real money flows also adding fuel to the flame..hard hard times ahead

I do not understand the logic behind CBK's moves... The KES dropping like a rock will mean higher imported inflation. At this rate I expect ANOTHER fuel price hike not coz oil prices have risen but KES is crashing!

I will get my blasphemous 90/- as long as cbk keeps selling to buy euros & dollars. Their price stability objective seems to have been thrown out?! Since the ksh freefall started the dollar was getting battered in the global forex market. Now the euro is taking it in the chin & ksh is worse? Is the ksh really free float? If it is then the dollar rebound will crash it to alykhan's target of 100??! Brick wall

CBK buying the Euro should tell us what Kenya and other nations like BRIC think about the USD as a forex reserve currency.
