The won opens weaker on Tuesday, USD/KRW last up 4.25 at 1107.15, the move higher is driven by the US dollar which saw its biggest gain in 9 months erased as the US prepares to sign a spending bill, this helped stocks recover and dragged down the US dollar. Market observers noted that moves were exacerbated by thinned holiday volumes.
