Kenya's currency shows volatility after central bank intervention; gains and dips against the American Dollar

In recent trading sessions, the Kenyan Shilling experienced fluctuations against the US Dollar, with the central bank stepping in to buy dollars to curb volatility. Despite this intervention, the Shilling has significantly appreciated against the Dollar, driven by inflows from global sources. Meanwhile, the Dollar's performance is tied to US consumer behavior, particularly Retail Sales data that can influence its direction. On the global front, the US Dollar also showed movements against other currencies like the Taiwan Dollar and the Japanese Yen.
