The USD/KRW exchange rate has rallied to 17-year highs above 1,536 in late March 2026 before pulling back toward 1,504, reflecting trader consensus on persistent Korean won weakness amid a 100 basis point interest rate gap—the Bank of Korea holding steady at 2.50% versus the Federal Reserve's 3.50%-3.75% federal funds target. South Korea's Q4 2025 GDP contracted 0.3% quarter-on-quarter, hit by export softness in semiconductors despite stable 1.9% inflation, while capital outflows and global dollar strength amplify pressures. Key near-term catalysts include the April 28-29 FOMC meeting for US monetary policy signals, BoK FX monitoring, and Q1 Korean GDP release, shaping 2026 paths toward higher levels.
