Trader sentiment on USD/KRW's 2026 trajectory hinges on persistent U.S. dollar strength driven by the Federal Reserve's higher-for-longer policy stance versus the Bank of Korea's benchmark rate held steady at 2.50% through February, with the next decision on April 9. The pair trades near 1,507-1,510 in early April 2026, down from 17-year highs above 1,530 hit end-March amid equity outflows and intervention fears, though Korea's upgraded 2% GDP growth outlook tempers easing bets. Divergent forecasts—from Bank of America eyeing 1,280 stabilization to others projecting 1,525+—reflect uncertainty over U.S. inflation data, Treasury yields, and potential BoK hawkishness amid won depreciation pressures.
