The increasing dealing in foreign exchange by commercial banks over the years has
lead to the importance studying the volatility associated with it. In this study, we have
examined the stock market and the foreign exchange market in Kenya for evidence of
volatility of stock prices caused by foreign exchange rates using augmented market
models. The results from the study indicate that commercial banks in Kenya are not
significantly exposed to foreign exchange rate risk.
