> The won-dollar rate closed at 1,356.6 won per dollar on November 6, rising 14.5 won from the previous trading day and recording its largest weekly increase in six months. The article attributes the won’s weakness to global dollar strength, falling U.S. technology shares, and foreign investors’ net selling of Korean equities.

## Why it matters
