USD to KRW Rates - 2026 Forecast

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:

The USD/KRW outlook is slightly positive, but likely to move sideways as the rate is currently just below its recent average and trading in a tight range.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The interest rate gap between the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Korea is widening, favoring a stronger USD.

• Risk/commodities: Recent volatility in oil prices has pressured the KRW, which historically weakens the currency when oil costs are high.

• One macro factor: The Bank of Korea has raised concerns about the impact of a weak KRW on domestic businesses and inflation, indicating possible actions to stabilize the currency.

Range:

The USD/KRW rate is likely to hold within its recent 3-month range, drifting around current levels.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: A significant US economic report showing robust growth could strengthen the USD beyond its current levels.

• Downside risk: Effective intervention by South Korean authorities to stabilize the KRW could lead to a stronger won.
