Rising South Korean inflation, which accelerated amid higher oil prices and prompted the Bank of Korea to lift its 2026 CPI forecast to 2.7% while upgrading GDP growth to 2.6%, has anchored trader expectations for a July base rate hike from the current 2.50% level. The May meeting’s eighth consecutive hold included two dissents favoring an immediate 25-basis-point increase and hawkish guidance under new Governor Shin Hyun-song, reinforcing the market-implied 71.5% probability of tightening over 23.0% for no change. Strong semiconductor-driven exports and a positive output gap outlook support gradual normalization, though geopolitical risks and upcoming June inflation and labor data remain key swing factors ahead of the mid-July decision.
