Oil surge and foreign sell-off lift Korea won-dollar rate to 1,345.1 - CHOSUNBIZ - Chosunbiz

The won-dollar exchange rate against the U.S. dollar finished weekly transactions at 1,345.1 won at 3:30 p.m. on the 13th. That was down 10 won (0.74%) from the prior trading day's weekly close. On the same basis, it hit 1,335.1 won the previous day, the lowest level in two years, but rose back to the 1,340-won range in a day. It was the first time in three trading days since on the 7th that the rate recorded the 1,340-won range. The day's exchange rate matched market expectations that it could rise. International oil prices have been climbing for three straight trading days as the Middle East situation deteriorates, including Yemen's pro-Iran Houthi rebels attacking an international airport in Saudi Arabia.
