The recent hawkish shift by the Federal Reserve, including its September 16 rate hike to a 3.75–4.00% target range with signals of possible further tightening, has widened the U.S.-Korea policy differential to about 1 percentage point against the Bank of Korea’s 3.00% base rate, supporting USD strength and pressuring the won. This dynamic has contributed to USD/KRW volatility around 1,340–1,390 in September 2026 after a mid-year peak near 1,588. Offsetting factors include robust Korean export growth, particularly semiconductors amid the AI cycle, which has sustained current-account surpluses and provided dollar inflows, alongside ADB upgrades to 2026 GDP forecasts. Traders are also monitoring oil prices, foreign equity flows, and upcoming FOMC and BOK decisions that could alter rate expectations and capital movement.
