A strong KES is not always good. My thinking is that we have to much $$ in circulation.

Any connection with the tea bonuses? Maybe KTDA has liquidated $ A/C leading to a glut.

Not really a slow economy would have/will force the federal reserve to pump in more dollars via QE
,bond buybacks...the market would be flooded with dollars...

I think it all depends on line of biz they are in. For exporters it ain't a good thing but to importers,it's all music to the ears.

For the overall economy, i think a fairly valued USD/forex is the optimal target.

Sometimes, the USDKES duel doesn't make sense to me. How do you explain a no-USD supply and a strengthening KES?

Blame it on CBK intervention.

USDKES trading as high as 87.8 today. How much of that is driven by security scares or is this cyclical (traders, low exports etc)
