The Korean won has depreciated sharply against the dollar in 2026, with USD/KRW trading near 1,560 in early June after rising from sub-1,500 levels earlier in the year, driven primarily by sustained capital outflows as domestic investors increased purchases of U.S. equities alongside broader dollar strength. The Bank of Korea has held its policy rate steady at 2.50% through multiple meetings, prioritizing exchange-rate stability over further easing to limit imported inflation and financial stability risks from household leverage, while the Federal Reserve’s policy path continues to influence rate differentials. Structural factors such as Korea’s current-account surplus paired with net overseas investment and cyclical pressures from global risk sentiment have supported elevated levels, with analyst forecasts for year-end 2026 ranging from around 1,400 to 1,500. Key upcoming catalysts include Bank of Korea monetary policy decisions, U.S. inflation and employment data, and any shifts in trade or geopolitical conditions that could alter capital-flow dynamics.
