SEOUL (January 26, 2010): Seoul shares fell on Monday pressured by banks and commodities issues, but exporters including Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor outperformed amid the won's recent weakness. Analysts said sentiment was weak following recent falls on Wall Street after a proposal by US President Barack Obama for curbs on US banks, but said positive expectations for both US and domestic technology earnings toward the end of the week could lift the market.
