NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya's shilling was barely changed against the dollar on Friday in a session that was characterised by thin trading ahead of the weekend. At 0920 GMT, commercial banks posted the unit at 76.85/95 against the dollar compared with Thursday's close of 76.80/90. Traders saw the unit in a range of 76.50-77.00 for the rest of the session with few transactions going through. "The market is flat... we are looking at new direction. I 'm looking at a range of 76.50-77.00," said Friday Mwafuga. Imperial Bank's James Ndegwa said traders were watching the political situation after Kofi Annan, the mediator of last year's post-election crisis, said he had handed over a list of suspects to the International Criminal Court. The move heightens pressure on the east African nation's shaky coalition government to establish a local court or face international justice for the worst blood-letting since independence. |
