USD/KRW recently surged to a 17-year high near 1,536 in late March 2026, propelled by escalating Middle East geopolitical tensions that fueled safe-haven USD demand and the Bank of Korea's steady 2.50% policy rate contrasting the Federal Reserve's federal funds rate holding around 3.64%, widening the yield differential to roughly 114 basis points. The Korean won depreciated 4.72% in March—the weakest among major currencies—amid export pressures and capital outflows. Spot trades around 1,512 as of early April, with traders eyeing the BoK's April 9 interest rate decision and upcoming US nonfarm payrolls data for cues on monetary policy divergence and potential KRW volatility through year-end.
