    KRW & INR - Markets & outlook

      South Korean won - KRW:

    The US imposed a 25% reciprocal tariff rate on goods from South Korean as part of Trump’s growing trade war with countries around the world.

    The outlook for emerging Asian currencies is worsening again after US President Donald Trump announced a raft of new tariffs globally, curbing optimism that his threats were mainly bargaining ploys.

    Martial Law Crisis

    South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s brief imposition of martial law in early December triggered a political crisis, with the opposition demanding his impeachment and treason charges.

    The move sparked widespread protests, drawing parallels to the nation’s authoritarian past, and blindsided his party, the public, and international allies like the US. The fallout has not only destabilized domestic politics but also raised concerns about South Korea’s sovereign-debt rating and heightened volatility for the won amid fears of prolonged political deadlock.

    However, South Korea’s won quickly pared its losses against the U.S. dollar following the swift passage of a parliamentary resolution calling for the lifting of martial law.

      Indian rupee - INR:

    The Indian rupee has steadily weakened (like most currencies) against the US dollar on fears that surging energy prices could spur inflation and interest rate hikes.

    India is the third-largest oil-consuming country, after the U.S. and China.

    India imports most of its oil requirements and higher crude prices tend to push up domestic inflation.

    Investors are shedding Asian currencies including the Indian rupee as the dollar surges against major counterparts, driven by expectations that Trump’s anticipated policies—lower corporate taxes and deregulation—will stimulate U.S. growth.

    Additionally, Asian currencies face the potential impact of Trump increasing tariffs, particularly targeting China. This combination is expected to bring a phase of heightened uncertainty and volatility for Asian currencies, with bankers noting that even the typically stable Indian rupee will feel the effects of the disruptions Trump’s policies may introduce.

    How to get a good KRW to INR exchange rate

    There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting South Korean won to Indian rupee:

    1. Shop around for the best KRW/INR exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
    2. Timing is important: Keep an eye on the KRW/INR rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
    3. Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
    4. Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both KRW and INR at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
    5. Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

    The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

    Generally speaking, if you are buying Indian rupee with South Korean won, then it's better for the KRW/INR exchange rate to be higher.

    However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).

    The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.

    Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.

    It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.
