USD to KRW 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent dollar → South Korean won forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest US dollar to South Korean won performance and trends.

 

USD/KRW Outlook:

Slightly weaker, but likely to move sideways, as the rate is currently below its 90-day average and near recent lows.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The Federal Reserve's steady interest rates signal stability, whereas the Bank of Korea is concerned about the weakening KRW affecting inflation.

• Risk/commodities: Recent declines in oil prices may negatively influence the KRW since South Korea is an oil importer.

• One macro factor: The South Korean government’s proactive measures to stabilize the KRW amid volatility may provide some support, yet concerns over inflation persist.

Range:

Expect the USD/KRW to hold within its recent range as it stays near the lower end of its three-month trading band.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: A stronger-than-expected US economic performance could further strengthen the USD.

• Downside risk: Any significant intervention by South Korea’s government to stabilize the KRW could lead to a stronger won against the dollar.
