The South Korean won held steady around 1,470 per dollar, remaining near a two-week high, amid expectations of higher interest rates and strong export momentum. Support came after a Bank of Korea deputy governor signalled that it was “time to consider interest rate hikes,” with policy guidance expected to turn more hawkish as inflation remains elevated. Stronger growth expectations further underpinned the currency, with exports holding above $80 billion for a second consecutive month in April on robust semiconductor shipments. The country also posted a trade surplus above $20 billion for the second straight month, a record run that reinforced steady foreign exchange inflows. At the same time, expectations that expanded National Pension Service hedging flexibility may help smooth FX volatility added to stability in the currency. However, focus remained on Middle East developments, where a fragile ceasefire held but ongoing uncertainty kept energy and risk channels in focus.
