Recent Federal Reserve tightening, including the September 2026 25 basis point hike to a 3.75–4.00% target range amid sticky inflation and elevated oil prices, has widened the policy gap with the Bank of Korea’s 3% benchmark and bolstered dollar strength, driving USD/KRW rebounds from September lows near 1,334 toward resistance at 1,390. Persistent foreign equity outflows from Korean shares, higher energy import costs, and reduced expectations for near-term Fed easing have reinforced upward pressure on the pair, while Korea’s record current-account surplus, semiconductor export momentum, and potential BOK rate hikes in late 2026 act as counterbalances. Trader sentiment for any 2026 threshold reflects these rate differentials, capital-flow volatility, and upcoming FOMC and BOK decisions through year-end.
