> South Korean shares plunged after the market opened, triggering a circuit breaker, while the dollar-won rate traded around 1,357 won after briefly reaching the 1,358-won range. Despite strong risk aversion and foreign selling, dollar sales by exporters and caution from foreign-exchange authorities appeared to limit further gains in the exchange rate.
