  "summary": "The Korean won reached its strongest level in 15 days against the US dollar on Thursday, buoyed by foreign investors' continued net purchases of local stocks. The currency was trading at 1,330.7 won per dollar by 3:30 p.m., a rise of 2.9 won from the previous session's close. The won hit a high of 1,327.7 won per dollar during the afternoon, the strongest level since October 28. This gain was supported by local exporters' dollar sales, with foreign investors buying a net 340 billion won ($255 million) worth of local shares during the latest trading session. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index fell 0.61 percent to close at 5,342.73.",
