[Photo] KOSPI Rises and Exchange Rate Falls as Inflation Concerns Ease

As concerns over inflation eased due to a sharp drop in international oil prices and the U.S. February Producer Price Index falling short of expectations, the KOSPI also started higher on the 16th. This is a view of the Hana Bank dealing room in Jung-gu, Seoul. On that day, the KOSPI opened at 2,649.85, up 28.32 points (1.08%), and the won-dollar exchange rate opened at 1,141.2 won, down 1.6 won./Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
