# Korean Won Surges to 1,356.3 Against Dollar Amid U.S. Tech Stock Plunge

> The dollar rose to 1,356.3 won by 10:30 a.m. in Seoul on November 6, up 14.2 won from the previous session’s close; it had reached 1,358.3 earlier. A U.S. technology-stock sell-off and foreign investors’ share sales in South Korea pressured the won, while exporters’ dollar sales were expected to limit the exchange rate’s rise.

## Why it matters

Won weakness increases the local-currency cost of imported feed and agricultural commodities in South Korea. Exporters’ dollar selling may limit the currency’s decline and moderate that cost pressure.
