The market started high at the news that the Monetary Policy Committee froze base interest rate and that the Vice-Minister of Strategy and Finance would regularly attend the Monetary Policy Committee meetings.. In middle session, the climbing trends became somewhat stagnant owing to burdens on climbing; however, the rising level was expanded when worries over possible increase in base rate were relaxed and foreigners started large-scale net buying, with the market finally closing at 109.70p, up 1.08p(0.99%) compared with that of the end of a month earlier 108.62p. |

The U.S. Dollar Futures showed significant level of decline in early month when dollars showed weak trends because of the U.S. Federal Reserve System¡¯s policy to maintain low interest rate and foreigners¡¯ net buying of stocks. It reversed to upward trends when China indicated possible tightening policy and the U.S. indicated regulation on large banks. After that, the market increased its level of rise due to strengthened preference for safe assets following the fall at the global stock market at the end of the month and foreigners¡¯ net selling, finally closing January at 1,160.1won, down 4.9 won (0.4%) compared with that of the end of previous month 1,165.0won. |
