Trader consensus on USD/KRW hitting key 2026 thresholds hinges on the persistent US-Korea interest rate differential, with the Fed maintaining federal funds at 3.5-3.75% amid sticky inflation risks versus the Bank of Korea's steady 2.50% base rate through recent April meetings. The pair has retreated to around 1,478 on April 30 from 1,536 March peaks, driven by Korean government interventions curbing depreciation and capital inflows boosting the won, as noted in Bank of America forecasts targeting 1,395 year-end. Semiconductor export trends and US nonfarm payrolls remain pivotal, with May FOMC projections and BOK policy updates as near-term catalysts potentially widening or narrowing the spread.
