Recent U.S. monetary policy tightening, including the Federal Reserve’s September 2026 25-basis-point rate hike to a 3.75–4.00% target range with signals of further increases, has widened interest-rate differentials and bolstered the dollar, pushing USD/KRW back toward the 1,400 level amid elevated Treasury yields. Counterbalancing this, South Korea’s semiconductor-driven export surge—rising over 78% year-on-year in early September—has supported a robust current-account surplus and underpinned KRW resilience, though foreign equity outflows and energy import costs tied to oil-price volatility continue to exert pressure. Trader sentiment reflects these crosscurrents, with the pair fluctuating near 1,360–1,370 as of late September and market-implied odds sensitive to upcoming FOMC communications, Bank of Korea decisions, and capital-flow data.
