KAMPALA, July 16 (Reuters) – The Ugandan shilling was slightly firmer on Tuesday, underpinned by hard currency inflows from commodity exporters and offshore investors looking to participate in a treasury auction, traders said.

At 0853 GMT commercial banks quoted the shilling at 3,690/3,700, compared to Monday’s close of 3,693/3,703.
