The Bank of Korea’s overwhelming market-implied probability of no change at its May 28 meeting stems from the central bank’s unanimous April decision to hold the base rate steady at 2.5 percent amid heightened Middle East geopolitical risks and balanced domestic conditions. April inflation accelerated to 2.6 percent year-over-year, exceeding the 2 percent target yet aligning with prior projections, while first-quarter GDP growth reached 1.7 percent supported by semiconductor exports. Policymakers have emphasized a data-dependent approach, monitoring oil-price pressures and won volatility without shifting to immediate tightening, even after senior deputy governor comments signaling potential future hikes. Traders view the May outcome as a continuation of this wait-and-see stance, with any surprise acceleration in May CPI or sharp currency depreciation representing the main scenarios that could introduce modest upward rate pressure.
