Cheers @Chief Hisah. It's hammer time indeed & for a longtime oil Bear, must say this is good progress but would like more demand fundamentals incorpd too! What's surprising is gold, that should be going up...As for Bitcoin, it's a sham ccy - my long & short.

Analysis of KES vs Pound - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpP4vtIzXS4

Though this is a very simplistic analysis without factoring the cost of production where transportation, funny fuel regulation prices and KPLC come in...

I've been trying to get a better understanding of what moves the Ksh.Importers is one thing but I don't understand the major players and their obligations e.g. like manufacturers.Does anyone have more information on this e.g. exporters,importers,manufacturers,foreign investors anything?

JPYKES chart showing classic Head and Shoulders (H&S) pattern. That yen will go below 70/- and much lower vs KES. Car importers will be smiling as well as jap exporters to KE as more goods are bought.

The head and shoulders pattern is generally regarded as a reversal pattern and it is most often seen in uptrends.

IMF hints at KE eurobond float at $1 Billion by Q4 2013. KES to take on USD yet again. Holding USD against KES will be tricky if this float is fully or oversubscribed.

S&P says KE could pay a lower rate for its eurobond - www.businessdailyafrica....4/-/mbjupnz/-/index.html

If KE puts up $2 billion as Alykhan suggests, USD positions vs KES would experience a nasty winter. Tbill rates would equally nosedive leaving equities as the main beneficiary. With tbill rates on a nosedive, banks would have to boost lending by cutting their rates. Econ stimulus would flood in and stocks would obviously melt up.

Kenyan shilling hits four-month low

The Kenyan shilling hit a four-month low on Friday as nervous importers bought dollars, betting that the U.S. currency could strengthen further.

At the 1300 GMT market close, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 86.50/70 per dollar, a level last reached on March 11 and 0.4 percent weaker than Thursday's close of 86.20/30.

The dollar jumped to near a three-year high against other major currencies on Friday after a strong rise in U.S. payrolls in June raised expectations that the Federal Reserve may soon start curtailing its monetary stimulus.
