KOREAN WON
KOREAN WON: USDKRW has continued its decline following yesterday's large drop as
risk appetite has returned to global FX markets thanks in part to expectations
of a Brexit deal and reports that Trump is holding off on auto tariffs for now. 
- The slight drop in Korea's adjusted unemployment rate and the ongoing plunge
in crude oil are also tailwinds for the won, which trades at 1129.9. 
- The Korean FinMin noted today that the jobs situation remains grave and
further action may be taken on this front. 
- Rate markets remain under pressure but largely due to falling inflation
expectations on the back of lower oil prices, which is supporting real yields.
US-Korea real yield spreads have edged down from last week's highs but remain
elevated and a headwind for the won.
