El won coreano se recupera de un mínimo de 17 años ante las esperanzas de desescalada en Oriente Medio

El won surcoreano registró una fuerte ganancia frente al dólar estadounidense este martes, recuperándose de un mínimo de 17 años, después de que el presidente de EE. UU., Donald Trump, retrasara los ataques a la infraestructura energética iraní. La medida se produjo en medio de conversaciones calificadas como "constructivas" para poner fin al conflicto en Oriente Medio. El repunte siguió a la volatilidad provocada por el bloqueo del Estrecho de Ormuz, que ha interrumpido el suministro de petróleo.

Los datos financieros aparecieron en las pantallas de la sala de operaciones del Hana Bank en el centro de Seúl este martes, cuando el won coreano abrió a 1.490,9 unidades por dólar, un aumento de 26,4 wones respecto a los 1.517,3 del lunes, el nivel más bajo desde el 9 de marzo de 2009, durante la crisis financiera mundial. Una mayor volatilidad se ha apoderado de los mercados cambiarios y bursátiles nacionales y mundiales desde que los ataques de EE. UU. e Israel contra Irán comenzaron a finales del mes pasado, escalando hacia un conflicto regional más amplio. El Estrecho de Ormuz ha estado efectivamente cerrado desde el inicio del conflicto, interrumpiendo el suministro mundial de petróleo. El lunes (hora de EE. UU.), Trump anunció un aplazamiento de cinco días de las amenazas de ataques contra instalaciones energéticas iraníes, citando conversaciones "constructivas" para poner fin a la guerra en Oriente Medio. Anteriormente, había advertido que EE. UU. "aniquilaría" las plantas de energía de Irán a menos que Teherán levantara su bloqueo del Estrecho en un plazo de 48 horas, cuyo vencimiento era al final del lunes. El fuerte repunte del won refleja las esperanzas del mercado de una desescalada en medio de estos acontecimientos.
