Won Daily Trading Volume Jumps on Extended Hours, Stock Selloff
Daily trading volume in the South Korean won has picked up since 24-hour trading began two weeks ago, a trend driven by foreigners offloading local chipmakers’ shares.
Roughly $18.6 billion of dollar-won spot trading took place on average per day from July 6 to July 16, according to data from the Seoul Money Brokerage Services Ltd. and Korea Money Brokerage Corp. That’s around 16% higher than the daily average of the 30 days prior to July 6, when full-day trading began. The data doesn’t separate day and night trading and also omits July 17, a holiday in Korea.
