The won-dollar rate closed at 1,341.0 on Nov. 3, up 2.8 won from the prior day, as traders held back ahead of the US midterm elections.
Foreign stock selling pressured the won, while easing oil prices after US-Iran negotiation hopes helped stabilize it. WTI fell below $100 to $97.43 and the dollar index slipped to 101.726.
Lower oil prices and a steadier won reduce import cost pressure for Korean buyers, but the move is a routine currency wrap with no direct feed supply change.
