# Foreign investors net-sell 3 trillion won amid ‘Blue Wave’; exchange rate rises 0.6 won to 1,342.1

> The won closed at 1,342.1 per dollar on November 5, up 0.6 won, as foreign investors net-sold about 3.4 trillion won of South Korean shares. Despite declines in the dollar index and US Treasury yields after the US midterm elections, concerns about AI-related restrictions and semiconductor demand weighed on Korean equities and limited the won’s gains.
