[이데일리 이윤화 기자] The won-dollar exchange rate rose to the mid-range of 1,100 won, closing in six trading days. In addition to the rise in the interest rate of US 10-year Treasury bonds to 1.3%, risks such as conflict between the US and China triggered a strong dollar, and there was also the effect of foreign funds withdrawn from the domestic stock market.
