(Reuters) – Zambia’s kwacha fell 1 percent against the dollar on Friday, reflecting a persistently weak export performance in Africa’s second-largest copper producer.

The kwacha reached a session trough of 11.0000/dollar, its weakest since March 31 according to Thomson Reuters data.

“There are no dollars in the market and this is what is putting pressure on the kwacha,” a senior commercial bank trader said.
