USD to KRW 2025 Forecasts

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

 

The USD to KRW exchange rate remains in a stable yet slightly elevated position relative to its recent averages. Currently, the USD trades at 1392, which is approximately 0.5% above its three-month average of 1385. Over this period, the exchange rate has fluctuated within a 6.3% range, moving between 1353 and 1438.

Recent forecasts indicate strong support for the US dollar, driven by positive economic indicators and developments in monetary policy. Analysts have noted a rebound in U.S. retail sales which strengthens the case for continued investment in the USD. The Federal Reserve's interest rate policies play a pivotal role in this dynamic, with higher rates typically attracting more investors and further bolstering the currency’s value.

On the other hand, the South Korean won faces challenges from political instability and trade tensions. The brief imposition of martial law by South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol led to significant political turmoil, raising concerns about the country's sovereign debt rating. Despite a quick recovery in the won following the parliamentary resolution to lift martial law, the volatility generated by such events could continue to affect investor confidence.

Economic forecasts suggest that the USD's appeal as a safe-haven currency during periods of geopolitical uncertainty—coupled with the negative impact of tariffs on South Korea's trade relations—may put downward pressure on the won. Moving forward, market participants should monitor upcoming economic data releases, particularly related to U.S. consumer sentiment and any developments in South Korea's political context, as these factors will heavily influence the USD/KRW exchange rate.
