Trader consensus on USD/KRW reflects dollar strength driven by wide interest rate differentials, with the Federal Reserve holding the federal funds rate at 3.50%-3.75%—projecting just one cut through 2026—against the Bank of Korea's steady 2.50% benchmark, unchanged for five straight meetings as of early April. The pair surged to 1,508 per dollar on April 7 amid capital outflows and global risk-off flows before easing to near 1,475 by April 11, buoyed by government interventions and subdued U.S. core inflation. South Korea's export competitiveness and won volatility add pressure, while upcoming BOK May 28 decision and U.S. CPI releases loom as pivotal catalysts for further moves.
