Watching closely USDKES. Likely to test 85.40 then 86.40 in coming weeks... Not liking this pattern at all considering oil prices have rebounded sharply since July. Inflation effects...

September inflation slowed to 5.32% while 2Q12 GDP figures showed a growth of 3.3%, the slowest quarterly growth since 4Q of 2009. The combination of these numbers could point to a strong likelihood of a further benchmark rate cut in coming months in order to boost growth. (sib - i concur)

@mwekez@ji - Most likely further CBR rate cut is on the cards due to that dismal GDP performance - the econ is squeaking badly from lack of liquidity. Makes me wonder how IMF expects a GDP growth of 5% this year!

However with QE inifiniti now a reality from both euroland and USD motherships, CBK has to be careful with CBR rate cuts. The KES is still very fragile and it can be smashed yet again like last year if they mishandle the liquidity flooding of KES vs the hot money flood in euros and USD. Already within a week of my prediction that USDKES would test 85.40, the target has been hit! How long can CBK manage KES weakness using repos?

Commodities esp oil and food inflation are a major thorn going forward and need to be monitored carefully with euro/USD tsunami on the loose...

MPC meeting next week on Wed, 7th November. Rate is called for.

Kenya, Uganda inflation falls point to more rate cuts

"The central bank, I think, should be reducing the Central Bank Rate (CBR) because the spread between the CBR and the inflation rate remains extreme and one of the highest in the world. However, the data is confirming the trough in the inflation rate is no longer somewhere over the horizon," said Aly Khan Satchu, a Nairobi-based independent trader and analyst.

That spread between CBR and inflation must be iching the CBR cut trigger. But the repo action is what stands in the way. Another huge cut (at least 300bps) is on the cards, but the balancing between repos and USDKES rate stabilization is a tricky path. CBK will be sweating here...

Probably GoK/CBK has pre-empted the likely USD/KES scenario in event of a deep cut with that USD110 from IMF.
