The South Korean won weakened to around 1,473 per dollar, pulling back after recently touching a more than two-month high near 1,445, amid escalating Middle East tensions and surging oil prices. Negotiations between the US and Iran remained stalled after both sides rejected key elements of each other’s proposals. Iran vowed to “never bow,” while both sides continued exchanging strikes and threats, prolonging instability around the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude remained elevated above $100 per barrel, reinforcing concerns over higher energy import costs for Korea and supporting broader dollar strength. Safe-haven demand for the US dollar increased as investors reacted to rising geopolitical uncertainty, further pressuring Asian currencies. Meanwhile, markets also noted that Korea’s reduced dependence on Middle Eastern energy has helped partially cushion longer-term vulnerability to oil shocks, though near-term price spikes continue to weigh on sentiment.
