Recent USD/KRW trading near 1,360 reflects pressure from surging U.S. Treasury yields and inflation concerns fueled by higher oil prices amid U.S.-Iran tensions, which have reinforced expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes or a less dovish stance. The Bank of Korea’s recent 25-basis-point hikes to 3.00% and internal policy divisions add complexity, as Korea’s semiconductor-driven current-account surplus and corporate dollar conversions provide some won support while resident overseas investment and equity outflows weigh on the currency. Traders monitor upcoming FOMC communications, BOK minutes, September CPI releases, and geopolitical developments for shifts in the interest-rate differential and risk sentiment that could influence whether the pair tests higher thresholds or consolidates lower by year-end.
