(Sejong = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Soo-hyun = On the 2nd, the won/dollar exchange rate rose to the mid-1,360 won range early in the market, reflecting the strength of the global dollar, but later fell below 1,350 won as exporters poured in dollar sales (negotiations).

On this day in the Seoul foreign exchange market, the standard price of the Korean won to U.S. dollar exchange rate at 3:30 p.m. was calculated to be 1,350.6 won.
