由Hooyeon Kim报道,韩元周一因油价下降和本地公司大规模抛售美元而升至两年高点。
Korea’s won jumped to a two-year high on Monday, supported by lower oil prices and heavy dollar selling by local companies.
该货币在市场从三天长周末休市后回归时,一度升值0.8%至1,333.30对1美元,随后回落至0.5%的涨幅。大多数地区同类货币也出现上涨。
The currency rose as much as 0.8% to 1,333.30 against the dollar after the markets returned from a three-day long weekend, before trimming its advance to 0.5%. Most regional peers also gained.
“随着欧元、英镑和日元因油价下跌而走强,韩元正随着美元整体疲软而上涨,”首尔Woori Bank的经济学家Min Gyeong-won表示。出口商(尤其是芯片制造商)的美元销售应继续支撑韩元,尽管今日资金流动较轻,Min补充道。由于日本假期导致交易量薄弱,也在推动波动性加大。
“The won is strengthening in line with broad dollar weakness as the euro, pound and yen all gain on lower oil prices,” said Min Gyeong-won, an economist at Woori Bank in Seoul. Dollar sales by exporters, particularly chipmakers, should continue to support the won, though flows are light today, Min added. Thin trading volumes due to Japan’s holiday are also fueling volatility.
今年以来,韩元已累计上涨7.7%,从上半年亚洲表现最差的货币转变为下半年表现最佳的货币,这得益于强劲的出口和企业美元销售。
The Korean won has risen 7.7% this year, swinging from Asia’s worst-performing currency in the first half to its best in the second on strong exports and corporate dollar selling.
