Recent Fed tightening, including a 25 basis point hike on September 16 that lifted the target range to 3.75-4.00 percent, has widened the policy rate gap with the Bank of Korea to one percentage point and bolstered the dollar. This shift, alongside persistent foreign selling of Korean equities and elevated oil prices increasing import-related dollar demand, has driven USD/KRW volatility around the 1,355 level as of September 22 after earlier swings above 1,380. Korea’s semiconductor-led export strength and current-account surplus provide some support, yet market-implied odds reflect heightened sensitivity to further U.S. tightening signals and BOK responses at upcoming October and November meetings. Traders monitor Treasury yields, equity flows, and inflation releases for near-term catalysts.
