Trader sentiment on USD/KRW levels for the remainder of 2026 hinges on the widening US-South Korea interest rate differential, with the Federal Reserve maintaining its federal funds target at 3.50%-3.75% amid steady 3.64% effective rates, versus the Bank of Korea's unchanged 2.50% policy rate following its April 10 hold—the seventh consecutive pause amid Middle East war-driven supply shocks and persistent inflation. The pair traded around 1,483 on April 10, up 0.59% daily and reflecting a 0.32% monthly KRW weakening on dollar appreciation and Korea's slowing growth outlook. Key swing factors include upcoming US CPI and nonfarm payrolls data, May BoK meeting, and geopolitical risks; historical precedents suggest rate gaps above 100 basis points sustain USD strength absent major interventions.
