Strong semiconductor-driven exports and a record current-account surplus have driven recent USD/KRW appreciation, with the pair closing at 1,350.4 on September 4, 2026—its strongest level in 14 months after falling from a June peak near 1,559. Korea posted a $233 billion surplus through July, fueled by 209% year-over-year chip export growth amid AI demand, while SK hynix’s large ADR proceeds and exporter dollar sales added KRW support. The Bank of Korea’s recent 50-basis-point tightening cycle and continued hawkish bias have reinforced this dynamic by narrowing rate differentials with the Fed. Traders are monitoring August U.S. employment data, upcoming FOMC communications, and sustained export momentum for signs of reversal, as capital-flow shifts and yen movements could still influence the year-end path.
