Kenyan shilling stable, demand by oil importers could pose risk

NAIROBI (Reuters) - The Kenyan shilling traded stable against the dollar on Tuesday, with a likely surge in demand by oil importers seen posing depreciation risk for the local currency. At 0755 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 103.95/104.05 to the dollar, the same level as Monday's close. (Reporting by John Ndiso; editing by Elias Biryabarema)
