The USD/KRW rate, recently trading near 1,385 as of late August 2026 after falling from mid-1,500 levels earlier in the year, reflects KRW strength driven by Bank of Korea rate hikes to 2.75% and robust semiconductor export flows from Samsung and SK Hynix, including large share buyback programs that boost dollar supply. This has narrowed the policy differential with the Fed’s 3.50–3.75% target range, supporting capital inflows and a widening current-account surplus while tempering import-price pressures. Trader-implied odds hinge on whether BOK tightening persists amid easing July inflation or if renewed global USD strength and foreign equity outflows reverse the move; the August 27 Monetary Policy Board meeting and ongoing AI-driven export momentum remain key near-term catalysts for any breach of recent ranges.
