Agree, disagree don't care? Highly likely esp if the USD rate hike comes sooner.
Been saying KES is cornered for a while now while everyone is fixed on the equity rally which is unsustainable with KE macros looking crappy.$15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

KES will bleed since the USD imports are way higher than USD revenues gained via exports. Eurobond loot was not meant as a stop gap for that current account deficit...$15/barrel oil...

At 93. Let me call it at 97-99 range for close of 2015. Higher if Fed increases rate this year which I think its unlikely now Sehemu ndio nyumba

I have a hunch that it's only going to get "worse." Brace for $1 USD to Kshs 200 in the next few months to years. Overall, minus the inflation issue, it will be a great boon to the economy: less imports, more exports, increase in tourism...

Obama's visit will boost the shilling as it will increase investor/tourist confidence.
The UK have already given a thumbs-up to tourism

Obama's visit will not have the effect that many people fathom. He is coming for a state visit that is beneficial to the United States. Kenya may benefit with a direct flight from the U.S. to Nairobi and new trade links but tourism will not benefit by the visit of a head of state , the sellers of the destination i.e travel agents need to be 100% sure to sell Kenya.

$KES > 100 will test CBK's nerves. Silly decisions will not hold back the dam from spilling over. Fundies and technicals are all aligned for a weak KES. Nigerian CB has been trying to defend the naira all guns blazing. They've given up! The market is the market. Nobody is larger than the market... $15/barrel oil...

The infrastructure bond has led to a KES gain, but for how long?
