Seoul: Won falls sharply, stocks dip

The South Korean won fell nearly 1 per cent on Friday, giving up gains from earlier in the week even as the dollar wallowed at close to twe-month lows.

The won stood at 1,116.7 as of 0217 GMT, compared to Thursday's close of 1,107.2.

"There is no special reason for the won's sharp fall. It seems like the investors are deciding to sell the currency just because they view the won isn't likeley to strengthen anymore,"said Jung Sung-yoon, a foreign exchange analyst at Hyundai Futures.

On a weekly basis, the won was set to decline 1.2 per cent, snapping three consecutive weeks of gains.Click Here To Register For Free Trial Services OR Give A Missed Call : +6531581402 Follow Us On Twitter : www.twitter.com/epicresearchsg Like Us On Facebook : www.facebook.com/EpicResearchSingapore Need Any Assistance Feel Free To Mail Us at : info@epicresearch.sg
