[SEOUL] South Korean shares eased slightly and the won held steady on Wednesday, ahead of the US central bank's policy outcome later in the global day.
The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) closed down 0.2 per cent at 1,968.83 points.

The won was quoted at 1,173.3 to the dollar at the conclusion of onshore trade, almost unchanged compared with Tuesday's close of 1,173.2.
