SEOUL: The South Korean won strengthened slightly on Thursday, its third straight day of gains, while traders awaited decisions from a European Central Bank policy meeting.
The won was quoted at 1,132.9 to the dollar at the conclusion of onshore trade, up 0.2 percent compared to Wednesday's close of 1,135.2.
South Korean shares rose, mainly due to foreigners being net buyers for a seventh straight day.

On Thursday, foreigners were net buyers of 157.8 billion won ($139.44 million) of shares.
