**Recent U.S. Federal Reserve tightening has emerged as the dominant driver of USD/KRW sentiment.** The Fed’s 25-basis-point hike on September 16 to a 3.75–4.00% target range—the first since 2023—widened the policy differential with the Bank of Korea (currently at 3%) and lifted Treasury yields, supporting the dollar and pushing USD/KRW back toward the 1,390 area after a September 9 low near 1,334. Higher oil prices have added pressure on Korea as a net energy importer, while persistent foreign equity outflows and domestic overseas investment continue to generate dollar demand. Offsetting factors include Korea’s record current-account surplus and robust semiconductor exports. With the pair trading around 1,360–1,370 as of September 22 and roughly three months left in 2026, upcoming FOMC decisions, BOK communications, and oil-price developments remain the key swing factors for any threshold test this year.
