The won was quoted at 1,191.5 per dollar on the onshore settlement platform, 0.24 per cent lower than its previous close at 1,188.6, after it hit a fresh 28-month low. A senior South Korean finance ministry official told Reuters by phone that"authorities are closely watching the foreign exchange market" which is usually taken by dealers as a warning against one-way bets on the currency. Multiple FX dealers suspected the authorities were selling dollars to curb won's weakness.
