Bank of Korea back-to-back 25-basis-point hikes to 3.00% have narrowed the Korea-U.S. policy-rate gap to 0.75 percentage points, supporting KRW appreciation amid a record current-account surplus driven by semiconductor exports. USD/KRW has fallen from above 1,560 in June to the low-1,370s by late August 2026, reflecting exporter dollar sales, corporate repatriation flows, and reduced financial-account outflows. Traders now price consolidation between 1,360 and 1,400, with further BoK tightening possible if growth and core inflation remain firm. Key near-term catalysts include Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole remarks, U.S. data releases, and month-end flows that could test the recent move’s sustainability.
