> The won fell as much as 0.5% to 1,479 per dollar, its weakest since April 9, as local funds' increased overseas investments pressured the currency ahead of the central bank's policy decision that week. The won is heading for year-to-date losses while most emerging-market peers have gained against the dollar.

## Why it matters
