SEOUL, Sept. 7 (Yonhap) -- The South Korean won gained to a near two-year high against the U.S. dollar Monday, as local exporters continued to convert their dollar holdings into the local currency.

The won was quoted at 1,340.5 won per dollar at 3:30 p.m., up 9.9 won from the close of the previous stock trading session.

Buoyed by dollar sales by local exporters, the won advanced to a high of 1,334.7 per dollar at one point in morning trading, marking the strongest level since Oct. 4, 2024.

The won has strongly rebounded in recent weeks as local exporters cut their dollar holdings and SK hynix Inc. converted its proceeds from a mega U.S. listing into the Korean currency.

The won advanced although expectations of a U.S. rate hike were raised after better-than-expected jobs data.

However, the won pared some gains after Yonhap Infomax reported that the state-run National Pension Service, one of the world's biggest pension funds, halted its foreign exchange hedging operations.

Foreigners purchased a net 2.5 trillion won (US$1.86 billion) worth of local stocks during the latest trading session, with the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index jumping 4.61 percent to close at 6,995.39.

首尔，9月7日（韩联社）——周一，韩元兑美元汇率升至近两年来的最高点，原因是韩国出口商继续将其美元储备兑换成本国货币。

下午 3 点 30 分，韩元兑美元汇率为 1,340.5 韩元，比前一交易日收盘价上涨 9.9 韩元。

受当地出口商美元销售的提振，韩元兑美元汇率在早盘交易中一度升至 1,334.7 的高位，创下自 2024 年 10 月 4 日以来的最高水平。

近几周来，由于韩国本土出口商削减了美元持有量，以及SK海力士公司将其在美国上市所得资金兑换成韩元，韩元强劲反弹。

尽管好于预期的就业数据提高了市场对美国加息的预期，但韩元依然走高。

然而，据韩联社报道，韩国国营国民年金公团（全球最大的养老基金之一）停止了外汇对冲操作，导致韩元收复了部分涨幅。

在最近的交易日中，外国投资者净买入价值 2.5 万亿韩元（18.6 亿美元）的韩国股票，韩国综合股价指数上涨 4.61%，收于 6,995.39 点。
