As the exchange rate rose by more than 20 won in one day, it even exceeded 1,430 won.
The exchange rate immediately exceeded 1,420 won as of the morning of the 26th, rising by more than 10 won from the last price last Friday at the same time as trading started.
And two hours later, at 11:12 a.m., it recorded 1,430.0 won, then fell, and rose again to 1,431.9 won after 1 pm.
Today's exchange rate is affected by the depreciation of the British pound.
The British government announced the largest tax cut in 50 years, saying it would revive the economy, but it seems that the dollar's strength has ignited as fears that the fiscal situation will deteriorate.
As a result, the stock market is also shaken.
As the KOSPI fell by 2.6%, it was pushed to the 2,230 level, and the KOSDAQ is down more than 4%.
Asian financial markets such as Japan and China are all moving similarly to ours.
In Japan, foreign exchange authorities are selling the dollar to prevent the exchange rate from rising around 0.5%, but the Nikkei is down more than 2%.
In China, the official exchange rate was also announced at 7.0298 yuan, rising above 7 yuan for the first time in two years.
Our financial authorities have reiterated their position that they will come up with countermeasures while monitoring the situation, but as long as the dollar alone continues to dominate, it is not easy to respond.
