Won advances to highest in 6 weeks after exporters sell Dollars

The Won rose to the highest in six months amid speculation exporters of South Korean are exchanging yields from overseas sales, and government bonds strengthened. The Won gained 0.3% to 1,103.50 per greenback, the most since March 14, while the return on the 2.75% government bonds due March 2018 dropped to 2.56%, down two basis points.
