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 a mixture of economic data, geopolitical events, and market sentiment in recent weeks. The US dollar (USD) saw a significant uptick following strong employment data, with non-farm payrolls exceeding expectations, which provides a solid foundation for continued dollar strength. The unexpected decline in the US unemployment rate and higher-than-expected ISM services PMI bolster confidence in the US economy. Analysts anticipate that the USD may continue to appreciate, particularly as monetary policies are shaped by the Federal Reserve's position on interest rates, which remain a key driver for investor confidence in USD assets.

Conversely, the South Korean won (KRW) faces pressures from both international and domestic challenges. The recent imposition of tariffs by the US on South Korean goods underlines the strain in trade relations, which can weigh on the KRW as concerns about economic growth linger.

Recent political turmoil in South Korea, marked by President Yoon Suk Yeol's brief martial law declaration, has exacerbated fears about political stability and its implications on economic policies. Although the swift parliamentary response to lift the martial law helped stabilize the won, the situation has heightened volatility and concerns around South Korea's sovereign-debt rating.

Market data indicates that the KRW to USD exchange rate currently stands at approximately 0.000734, reflecting a 2.2% increase compared to its three-month average of 0.000718. The KRW has traded within a notable 10% range from 0.000672 to 0.000739, highlighting recent volatility.

Looking ahead, the interplay of US economic strength, ongoing geopolitical tensions, and South Korea's internal challenges suggests that the KRW may face continued pressure against the USD. Analysts forecast that while the dollar benefits from its safe-haven status during global uncertainties, the outlook for emerging market currencies, including the KRW, remains uncertain amid the wider implications of trade tariffs and domestic political developments.
