Recent Bank of Korea rate hikes to 3.00%, including back-to-back 25 basis point increases, have narrowed the U.S.-Korea policy gap to 0.75 percentage points and reinforced KRW support amid firm growth and core inflation. This aligns with record current-account surpluses projected near $450 billion for 2026, driven by semiconductor export strength and corporate repatriation flows such as SK Hynix ADR proceeds. USD/KRW has fallen sharply from above 1,560 in June to around 1,370–1,380 by late August, consolidating in the 1,360–1,400 zone as exporter dollar sales offset foreign equity outflows. Traders monitor upcoming BoK pauses, U.S. data releases, and Federal Reserve communications for shifts in rate differentials and risk sentiment that could influence whether the pair tests key 2026 thresholds.
