NAIROBI Udsalg Herre Nike Shox NZ Sko Sort Sølv , June 27 (Xinhua) -- The Kenyan shilling went down marginally against the U.S. dollar on Tuesday as demand for dollars by retail importers went up.

The currency exchanged at an average of 103.70 Tuesday, down from 103.60 last Friday where it had stayed unchanged for the better part of the week.

The Central Bank on Tuesday put the value of the currency at 103.67, a decline from 103.63 against the dollar.

Commercial banks, on the contrary, put the value of the shilling to the dollar at a lower level of 103.73 Billige Herre Nike Shox NZ Sko Hvid Guld , with traders in the financial institutions noting the shilling was under intense pressure from oil importers after the Eid holiday in Kenya celebrated on Monday.

The shilling depreciated by 0.1 percent against the dollar last week to close at 103.63, driven by increased dollar demand from oil importers and a globally strengthening dollar.

On a year-to-date basis, the shilling has depreciated against the dollar by 1.1 percent as the Central Bank continues to support the currency as can be seen by the slight decline in the forex reserves over the last few weeks.

The crucial dollar reserves last week closed the week at 8.1 billion dollars or an equivalent of 5.4 months of import cover, down from 8.2 billion dollars the previous week, an indication that the bank had sold dollars to buttress the shilling.

The NHL announced Monday that it will not participate in the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea, refusing for the first time in 20 years to halt its season for three weeks so its stars can chase gold for their home countries.

From Alex Ovechkin and Jonathan Toews to Connor McDavid and Henrik Lundqvist, the world's best players called playing in the Olympics important. The league decided otherwise.

Commissioner Gary Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly informed the NHL Players' Association that the matter was "officially closed" after weeks of speculation.

The NHLPA said in a statement that players are "extraordinarily disappointed and adamantly disagree with the NHL's shortsighted decision."

The NHL had allowed its players to participate in the past five Olympics dating to 1998, giving the Winter Games pro-level star power akin to the NBA players who participate in the Summer Olympics.

The league said no meaningful dialogue had emerged in talks with the NHLPA nike shox avenue tilbud , International Olympic Committee and International Ice Hockey Federation.

Even after the IIHF had agreed to pay for players' travel and insurance costs when the IOC refused, the NHL had been looking for more concessions that were believed to include marketing opportunities tied to the Games. The league wanted the matter resolved before the playoffs begin April 12.

"The league's efforts to blame others for its decision is as unfortunate as the decision itself," the NHLPA said.

"NHL players are patriotic and they do not take this lightly. A decent respect for the opinions of the players matters. This is the NHL's decision, and its alone."

Toronto Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock, who led Canada to consecutive Olympic gold medals in 2010 and 2014 nike shox 807 tilbud , said, "I'm just going to tell you I'm disappointed."

Players immediately blasted the decision. Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price, in Sochi under Babcock, called it "very disappointing" and said it was short-changing younger players who hadn't got to experience it before.

"Disappointing news, (the NHL) won't be part of the Olympics 2018. A huge opportunity to market the game at the biggest stage is wasted nike shox current tilbud ," tweeted Lundqvist, the New York Rangers goaltender who won the 2006 Olympic gold medal with Sweden.

"But most of all, disappointing for all the players that can't be part of the most special adventure in sports."

Former NHL forward Brandon Prust, who's now playing in Germany, tweeted: "Way to ruin the sport of hockey even more Gary #Olympics."
