Recent capital outflows from Korean residents into overseas assets, particularly U.S. equities, have sustained upward pressure on USD/KRW despite a current account surplus, with the pair trading near 1,410 as of mid-August 2026 after peaking above 1,480 late last year. The Bank of Korea's July rate hike to 2.75% narrowed policy differentials versus the Federal Reserve, supporting modest KRW appreciation alongside a softer U.S. dollar index and easing Treasury yields. Structural demand for foreign currency hedging by pension funds and retail investors continues to influence flows, while forecasts from major banks cluster around 1,370–1,420 by year-end. Key near-term catalysts include upcoming BOK and FOMC decisions, Korean equity performance, and any shifts in global risk sentiment that could alter the pace of portfolio rebalancing.
