The USD/KRW rate, recently trading near 1,414–1,417 as of mid-August 2026 after declining from peaks above 1,480, reflects South Korean authorities' coordinated intervention and statements curbing excessive won weakness alongside broader U.S. dollar softening. Key drivers include expectations for additional Federal Reserve rate cuts amid cooling labor data, improving Korean export momentum from the semiconductor cycle, and portfolio flow rebalancing ahead of Korean Treasury inclusion in global bond indexes. Analyst forecasts generally point to further moderation toward 1,380–1,400 by year-end, supported by narrower interest-rate differentials and current-account surpluses, though retail demand for foreign assets and any U.S. policy volatility remain swing factors.
