Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects uncertainty in USD/KRW's 2026 trajectory, with the pair trading near 1,470 as of April 18 amid divergent monetary policies. The Bank of Korea held its base rate steady at 2.50% on April 10, signaling a neutral stance supported by resilient semiconductor exports and moderated inflation, while the Federal Reserve's March FOMC meeting reinforced expectations for gradual U.S. rate cuts amid cooling labor data. Recent pullback from a 17-year high of 1,537 in late March stems from reduced Middle East risk premiums and Korean government interventions. Key catalysts ahead include May FOMC and BOK meetings, U.S. CPI releases, and South Korean GDP data, with forecasts like BofA's eyeing won strengthening toward 1,395 by year-end if policy divergence narrows.
