Foreign Exchange News
The Kwacha rally came to a halt on Tuesday following a wane in inflows from exporters and sellers. The Kwacha began the day trading at K18.250 / K18.300. However, by noon, the local unit was seen being quoted at K18.350 / 18.400, a level it maintained until close of business. Market activity was rather flat as most players had anticipated a further rally of the Kwacha below the $1/18.000 mark.
Should importer demand continue slowing down, the local unit is likely to remain flat in interim with limited movements to the downside.
