SEOUL: The South Korean won edged up on Tuesday on broad dollar weakness, but investors refrained from making big bets on the won as they were sidelined due to a weak performance in local stocks.

The local currency was quoted at 1,061.2 against the dollar at the end of domestic trade, up 0.16 percent compared with Monday's close at 1,062.9.
