Recent Bank of Korea rate hikes to 3.00% and record semiconductor export surpluses have driven KRW appreciation, narrowing the U.S.-Korea policy rate gap to 0.75 percentage points and pushing USD/KRW to around 1,378-1,380 as of late August 2026—its strongest levels in over a year. Exporter dollar sales tied to SK Hynix ADR listings, corporate buybacks, and a widening current-account surplus have amplified the move, while foreign equity outflows and elevated U.S. yields provide partial offsets. Traders are monitoring Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole remarks, upcoming U.S. data releases, and any further BOK tightening signals that could influence the pace of convergence or consolidation in the 1,350-1,400 range through year-end.
