The won closed at 1,549.4 per dollar on June 30, its weakest close since March 2009. Foreign investors net sold about 3.8 trillion won of Korean stocks that day, and the yen hit a 39-year low near 162.3.
A weaker won raises the local-currency cost of dollar-priced feed and grain imports for Korean buyers, while a firm dollar tends to weigh on dollar-denominated commodity prices.
