Trader sentiment on USD/KRW levels in 2026 hinges on persistent interest rate differentials, with the Fed funds rate steady at 3.50%-3.75% versus the Bank of Korea's 2.50% benchmark, though BoK Deputy Governor Ryoo Chang-soo signaled potential hikes on May 3 amid economic resilience and won weakness. The pair trades near 1,450 as of May 7—down from March's 17-year high past 1,500—bolstered by a 1.91% Korean won strengthening over the past month on semiconductor export gains and reduced outflows. Key risks include geopolitical tensions in Northeast Asia and U.S. dollar dynamics; watch BoK's May 29 policy decision and upcoming U.S. nonfarm payrolls for shifts in carry trade appeal and intervention risks.
