The USD/KRW exchange rate has declined sharply in recent weeks to around 1,346 as of early September 2026, down from peaks near 1,560 in June amid easing geopolitical tensions and a record current-account surplus fueled by semiconductor exports. Primary drivers include widening U.S.-Korea interest rate differentials, sustained resident outflows into overseas equities, and foreign investor rebalancing that has pressured the won despite robust export earnings. Capital account dynamics, yen co-movement, and Bank of Korea verbal interventions continue to influence near-term volatility, while Fed policy signals and upcoming U.S. CPI and employment data releases remain key swing factors for any 2026 threshold test. Trader sentiment reflects these supply-demand imbalances against a structurally elevated base level for the pair.
