S.Korean won posts biggest weekly gain in 11 yrs
Reuters - 1 hour 35 minutes ago
SEOUL, Oct 31 - The South Korean won <KRW=> posted its biggest weekly gain in 11 years on Friday on hopes that a $30 billion currency swap with the U.S. central bank would ease a dollar-funding squeeze in South Korea.
But the won ended local trade down 3.2 percent on the day due to profit-taking after Thursday's 14.2 percent surge.
The local currency was quoted at 1,290.8/1.1 per dollar as of 0600 GMT, compared with Thursday's domestic close <KRW=KFTC> of 1,250 and its local close of 1,424 on Oct. 24.
The weekly percentage rise of 10.3 percent was the biggest since a 11.9 percent jump during the week ended on Jan. 18, 1998.
