South Korean non-financial companies recorded net dollar sales of $286.57 billion in the first nine months, 2.6 times the amount in the same period last year. Strong current-account surpluses and export earnings drove dollar conversion into won, though risk aversion after the US midterm elections pushed the exchange rate higher for three consecutive trading days.
