The foreign exchange dealing room of the KEB Hana Bank headquarters witnessed an uplifted mood as the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the South Korean won showed favorable movement. A similar positive sentiment was observed in London where the FTSE market information reflected steady growth.
The logo of the London Stock Exchange, where market activities remained robust, added to the optimistic outlook.
