The USD/KRW exchange rate has climbed above 1,520 in late May 2026 amid sustained capital outflows from Korean residents’ overseas equity purchases, a firm U.S. dollar, and lingering Middle East geopolitical risks that lifted oil prices and Korean inflation to 2.2–2.6 percent. The Bank of Korea has held its base rate at 2.50 percent for seven straight meetings, though recent board commentary signals a potential shift toward considering hikes as growth forecasts face downward revisions. This contrasts with the Federal Reserve’s higher policy rate, widening the interest-rate differential and supporting USD demand. Market-implied odds reflect trader focus on upcoming BoK and FOMC decisions, May inflation prints, and export data as key swing factors that could accelerate or reverse the won’s depreciation through year-end.
