South Korean Won Hits 17-Year Low
|
5.1
South Korea's currency fell to a 17-year low against the U.S. dollar Monday, quoted at 1,497.5 per dollar after opening at 1,501 and briefly breaching the 1,500 level for the first time in regular hours since March 2009. The move followed a surge in oil prices—Brent around $106.12 and U.S. crude above $100—amid renewed Middle East tensions and Strait of Hormuz disruptions; KOSPI rose 62.61 to 5,549.85.
