KRW to USD 2025 Forecasts

Analysis of recent South Korean won → dollar forecasts for 2025. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest South Korean won to US dollar performance and trends.

 

The KRW to USD exchange rate has been influenced by recent developments in both the U.S. and South Korea. Analysts note that the US dollar has softened recently amid a risk-on sentiment and dovish signals from the Federal Reserve regarding potential interest rate cuts. Fed Chair Jerome Powell's comments have opened the possibility for further easing, leading to expectations that the USD may remain under pressure in the near term.

In South Korea, the recent decision by the Bank of Korea to lower its benchmark interest rate to 2.5% reflects ongoing efforts to stimulate a sluggish economy. The central bank has also revised its GDP growth forecast for 2025 downward, indicating concerns about economic stability. Analysts suggest that these factors could contribute to a sustained weakness of the South Korean won. Forecasts indicate that the KRW/USD exchange rate may remain in the mid-1,400 won range throughout 2025 due to domestic challenges, including political uncertainty and a declining foreign exchange reserve level.

Recent currency data shows the KRW to USD exchange rate at approximately 0.000703, which is 1.8% below its three-month average of 0.000716. The exchange rate has demonstrated stability within a 4.1% range, trading between 0.000699 and 0.000728. This stability comes amid the global economic landscape characterized by tensions such as the ongoing U.S.-China trade situation and trends towards dedollarization, which may impact the demand for USD.

In summary, market analysts remain cautious about the KRW as both local economic factors and broader international dynamics will likely continue to influence its performance against the USD. Businesses and individuals engaging in international transactions should remain mindful of these developments to optimize their currency exchanges.
