USD/KRW recently hit a 17-year high near 1536 on March 31, 2026—its loftiest since 2009—amid Korean Won selling pressure, with the Bank of Korea monitoring FX markets sans explicit intervention targets, before retracing to around 1507 as of April 3. This swing reflects sticky policy divergence: BoK's base rate steady at 2.50% post-February hold, buoyed by March CPI rising 2.2% YoY (below 2.4% consensus) and 2026 GDP forecasts upgraded to 2.1%; versus Fed funds potentially pausing amid softer U.S. data. Trader consensus hinges on April 10 BoK decision, April 28-29 FOMC, and Korea's export reliance on semiconductors amid global yields and risk appetite, calibrating 2026 threshold breach probabilities.
