KRW Market Update

03 Jun 2026 β€’ 00:35 GMT

KRW/USD 0.000659

The South Korean Won (KRW) has recently dipped to its 7-day lows against the US dollar, trading near 0.000659. This is about 1.8% below its three-month average of 0.000671, indicating a slight weakening. The KRW has been relatively stable, trading within a narrow range from 0.000657 to 0.000692 over the past week.

This recent move reflects broader market factors such as US dollar strength driven by safe-haven demand amid ongoing global uncertainties and some profit-taking in regional currencies. Despite these fluctuations, the KRW's performance remains within a stable range, supported by South Korea's steady trade surplus and political stability.

While the US interest rate outlook and global economic developments continue to influence the USD, the KRW's recent dip suggests cautious sentiment rather than a drastic shift. For those tracking the currency, the key levels to watch are near the recent lows and the 3-month average, as they could signal further shifts depending on global risk appetite and economic data.
