South Korea won rebounds on warnings, suspected intervention

SEOUL: A combination of verbal warnings and suspected heavy dollar-selling by the authorities helped the South Korean won recover from earlier falls to stage a late rebound against the dollar on Friday.

The won closed more than 1 percent higher at 1,166.0 per dollar, after fluctuating between 1,150.0 and 1,196.0.
