Recent Federal Reserve tightening, including the September 2026 25-basis-point hike that lifted the target range to 3.75–4.00 percent, has widened the policy rate differential versus the Bank of Korea’s 3 percent benchmark and supported USD strength. USD/KRW trades near 1,370 as of late September, after peaking above 1,550 earlier in the year amid foreign equity outflows, elevated oil prices, and reduced dollar supply from corporate flows. Korea’s record current-account surplus, fueled by semiconductor exports, and improving terms of trade provide a structural floor, while equity portfolio dynamics and energy import costs remain key swing factors. Traders monitor upcoming FOMC and BOK decisions, Q4 corporate dollar conversions, and global risk sentiment for directional catalysts through year-end.
