Bank of Korea's Rate Hike Pushes Won/Dollar Exchange Rate to Two-Month Low
The won/dollar exchange rate fell to the 1,470s for the first time in two months following the Bank of Korea's interest rate hike and hints of further increases. This was attributed to a weakening dollar due to softer-than-expected US inflation data and the reconfirmation of South Korea's monetary tightening stance, which strengthened the won.
