The USD/KRW exchange rate has traded near 1,510–1,530 in mid-June 2026 after touching multi-year highs above 1,550 earlier in the month, driven primarily by sustained Korean resident outflows into overseas equities that have increased spot USD demand. Structural pressures from demographic-driven portfolio shifts and cyclical co-movement with a weaker yen have offset some support from Bank of Korea and Ministry of Economy and Finance interventions, including verbal guidance and liquidity measures initiated in late 2025. Analyst consensus points to gradual appreciation toward the 1,400–1,450 range by year-end, reflecting expectations of further Fed easing, a softer DXY, and potential inclusion effects from Korean bonds in global indices, though persistent retail FX demand and global risk sentiment remain key swing factors through the remainder of 2026.
