USD/KRW trades at 1,483 as of April 10, 2026, after retreating from a 17-year high of 1,516 in late March amid heavy Korean equity outflows and persistent U.S. dollar strength driven by safe-haven demand and geopolitical tensions including Iran risks. The Bank of Korea's April 9 decision to maintain its base rate unchanged—citing high exchange rates fueling inflation pass-through—has sustained depreciation pressure, with the won weakening 0.32% over the past month. Divergent monetary policies, featuring Fed funds stability versus BoK caution on easing, anchor trader consensus. Key catalysts ahead include the FOMC meeting on April 28-29 and upcoming Korean export figures, alongside U.S. CPI data that could shift rate path expectations.
