The USD/KRW rate has traded near 1,385–1,390 in mid-August 2026 after strengthening sharply from highs above 1,580 earlier in the year, driven by a broad retreat in the U.S. dollar amid softer U.S. labor data and scaled-back Fed hike expectations. Korean authorities’ December 2025 intervention and ongoing exporter dollar sales have reinforced won support, while inclusion of Korean Treasuries in global bond indexes from April 2026 has attracted inflows. Key remaining catalysts include the September FOMC meeting, upcoming U.S. and Korean CPI prints, semiconductor export trends, and any shifts in retail capital outflows to U.S. assets. Market-implied odds reflect these dynamics, with the pair’s path sensitive to interest-rate differentials and global risk sentiment.
