[Today's Won] Dollar-Won starts at 1,341.5 won... 5.6 won lower than previous trading day's close

The won opened at 1,341.5 per dollar on November 10, down 5.6 won from the prior session's 1,347.1 close, according to Bank of Korea ECOS data. The November 9 session traded between 1,340.0 and 1,363.0 before settling near the low end of this year's 1,323.1–1,555.8 closing range. Seoul Foreign Exchange Brokerage set the day's base rate at 1,355.7. The move matters because the won is holding near its strongest levels of the year, keeping imported inflation and exporter conversion flows in focus. Watch whether the pair sustains below the 1,340 handle or reverses toward the 1,355.7 base rate, with cross rates such as 202.01 won per yuan also in play.
