The South Korean won weakened further against the US dollar on Friday as talks between the United States and Iran to end their month-long conflict showed no immediate progress. It opened at 1,508.6 won per dollar, down 1.6 won from the previous session. The escalating Middle East crisis has driven up global oil prices with the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed, hitting import-dependent South Korea.
South Korean stocks opened sharply lower on Friday amid heightened risk-off sentiment from renewed Middle East tensions. The KOSPI benchmark fell 3.74% to 5,256.46 in the first 20 minutes of trading. Uncertainty in U.S.-Iran negotiations fueled the decline.

انخفض الجنيه المصري تدريجيًا مقابل الدولار الأمريكي في الأيام الأخيرة، ليصل إلى 47.95 جنيهًا يوم الثلاثاء مقارنة بـ46.72 جنيهًا قبل أسبوع. يرجع هذا الانخفاض إلى سحب المستثمرين الأجانب أموالهم من أسواق السندات في الدول الناشئة، مع خروج نحو 12 مليار جنيه (250 مليون دولار) من السوق المصرية خلال الأسبوع الماضي.
