The exchange rate finished at 1,330.3 on Oct. 19, down 1.1 won from the previous close. The won strengthened as a lower USD/KRW rate means fewer won are required to buy one dollar. The pair opened at 1,336.0, 4.6 won above the previous close, before ending 5.7 won below the opening level. It declined for a second consecutive session. The close matched the year's low of 1,330.3, placing the rate at the bottom of its 2026 range of 1,330.3 to 1,555.8. It was 136.3 won below the 1,466.6 recorded three months earlier on July 24. The won has also strengthened from a year earlier. Converting 1 million won at the Oct. 17, 2025 rate of 1,421.2 would have yielded about $703.63. Converting that amount back at 1,330.3 would produce about 936,040 won, a decline of 63,960 won, or 6.4%. The won was quoted at 199.01 per Chinese yuan and 842 per 100 Japanese yen on the same day.
