韩国外汇当局据称承接SK hynix ADR募资回流中的约200亿美元美元卖盘

South Korean foreign exchange authorities bought about $20 billion of U.S. dollars sold by SK hynix ( SKHY ) after the chipmaker repatriated proceeds from its $26.5B ADR listing, Reuters reported, citing a direct source with knowledge of the matter. The purchases were made in July through over-the-counter transactions by South Korea’s Foreign Exchange Stabilization Fund, which is managed by the finance ministry and the Bank of Korea, the source said . SH Hynix ( SKHY ) did not immediately respond to Seeking Alpha's request for comment. The purchases would likely help South Korean authorities absorb the large dollar inflow from SK hynix’s ( SKHY ) record U.S. share sale and limit volatility in the won, which hit a 17-year low in June. It also gives authorities additional dollar assets at a time when South Korea’s foreign exchange reserves have been depleted by efforts to support the won. SK hynix ( SKHY ) raised about $26.5B after pricing 177.9M ADRs at $149 each in July, making it the largest U.S. share offering by a foreign company. The deal was more than seven times oversubscribed, highlighting strong investor demand.
