USD/KRW has traded volatilely around 1,480-1,485 as of mid-April 2026, retreating from March peaks above 1,530 driven by Middle East geopolitical tensions, foreign stock outflows, and a strong U.S. dollar amid South Korea's political uncertainty and subdued 1.9% GDP growth forecast. Bank of Korea's steady 2.50% policy rate for the seventh straight meeting underscores a cautious stance against inflation cooling, while persistent U.S.-Korea interest rate differentials—Fed funds likely above 4%—bolster dollar strength. Trader consensus on Polymarket prices in divergent year-end forecasts from 1,395 to 1,492, with FOMC April 28-29 deliberations and May BoK decision as key catalysts that could sway rate paths and risk appetite.
