FTSE down 4.4% to 4800s. Now in bear territory. Wish I had shorted the index, but I must admit holding cash is now a premium move

Pity the KES is falling faster than the US$. All my gains are coz of my US$ hedged position rather than the KES gains!

So much for emerging markets who use local toilet paper currencies! Long live the White & Yellow Man's currencies!

Swiss Franc, China Yuan, Indian Rupee, Aus $, etc all showing resilience. Even the $, € & GBP have remained strong vs most African currencies!

My Uganda TP is at 2,715, My KES TP is 94.25 & these are against the 'weak' US$...!

I must admit that things have compeletely gone out of hand.

What's the implication of this KES TP on fuel prices.......14th is not so far off.

@vituvingisana,u even wonder why the Kenyan shilling is loosing against most european countries yet all these countries are stuck and not growing.In Britain for example,Tottenham city is expiriencing riots for some days now because of a suspect killing by police and austerity measures that have led to reduced jobs.Everyway u look at it,all european states are in trouble except Germany.If only the market would correct the exchange rates,or we are importing more thn what we are exporting.Maybe thats the problem

Not quite boss. The US banks are deciding not to pay any interest rates on deposits. Instead, they will charge you for them! In effect, they are making holding cash to be a losing position. You are better invested elsewhere. I think this is all because the big companies huko have decided not to lend the govt a dime and the governemnt is using banks to force a lending. However, I think not many will lend to a defaulting govt they better invest elsewhere and this is how emerging markets are coming in. Now, IF Kenya gets favourable ratings, woe unto you if the bus leaves you!
