Trader sentiment on USD/KRW's 2026 trajectory hinges on persistent U.S.-Korea interest rate differentials and South Korea's semiconductor-led export resilience. As of April 13, 2026, the pair trades near 1,494, up 0.67% daily after weakening over the past month, pressured by the Federal Reserve's March hold at 3.50%-3.75% versus the Bank of Korea's steady 2.50% base rate through its April 10 decision. Robust chip exports amid AI demand support 1.9% GDP growth forecasts from ADB and KDI, bolstering the won's current account. Key catalysts include U.S. April CPI on April 15, BoK's May 28 meeting, and Fed's June FOMC, where rate cut odds could narrow the yield gap and cap upside.
