Trader sentiment on USD/KRW levels for 2026 reflects the persistent U.S.-Korea interest rate differential, with the Fed funds rate steady at 3.5%-3.75% versus the Bank of Korea's base rate of 2.50%, supporting USD strength as the pair trades around 1,472 amid recent won volatility. The BoK held rates unchanged on April 10 citing inflation acceleration to 2.6% YoY in April and currency pressures, while Korea's Q1 GDP surged 3.6% YoY on semiconductor exports. Market-implied paths from banks like BofA project moderation toward 1,395-1,450 by year-end on anticipated Fed easing and Korea's 1.9% growth forecast. Key catalysts include tomorrow's U.S. April CPI and BoK's May 28 meeting.
