South Korea's Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol said on Thursday that volatility in financial and foreign exchange markets has "somewhat eased" following a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran. The statement came after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a suspension of strikes on Iran, which led South Korean stocks to surge nearly 7 percent on Wednesday and the Korean won to strengthen sharply against the U.S. dollar. The government pledged to remain vigilant in maintaining macroeconomic stability.
The Korean won fell to a nearly two-month low against the U.S. dollar on Friday amid persistent volatility in financial markets due to the Middle East crisis. At 3:30 p.m., the won was quoted at 1,476.4 per dollar, down 8.3 won from the previous session and marking its weakest level since January 20. The Bank of Korea stated it is closely monitoring developments and preparing responses as volatility could continue depending on the situation.
