# USD/KRW rises 0.63% as Seoul's margin-loan relief meets a different FX clock

> An early-Asia feed showed USD/KRW at 1,368.46, up 0.625% from its own previous-close reference, while Seoul’s comparable onshore close on November 6 was 1,356.6. South Korean authorities waived securities firms’ 140% collateral-ratio requirement for margin loans for three months from November 9 to limit forced equity sales; the measure is not a currency intervention.

## Why it matters

A higher USD/KRW raises the won cost of dollar-priced feed and commodity imports, though the article cautions that the offshore indication and Seoul close are not directly comparable.
