KRW/USD historic rates
Current market bias: Bearish.
Key drivers:
- Interest rate differential: The Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates, putting downward pressure on the USD.
- Risk sentiment: Ongoing concerns regarding inflation could lead to depreciation of the KRW against the USD.
- Macro factor: The Bank of Korea may take action to stabilize the won amid inflation worries.
Near-term range: The USD/KRW is likely to trade within a stable range, currently just below the three-month average.
What could change it: An upside risk could arise from unexpected economic growth in the U.S. On the other hand, a downside risk is if the Bank of Korea takes strong measures that improve the won’s value, leading to a sharper USD decline against the KRW.
