South Korean Won Remains Under Pressure

The South Korean won weakened to around 1,538 per dollar, remaining under pressure as the US dollar stayed firm. Markets continued to price in the possibility of further Fed tightening, while investors awaited key US inflation data later this week for additional clues on the interest-rate path. Higher US yields continued to support dollar-denominated assets, reducing the appeal of emerging Asian currencies and contributing to broader strength in the greenback. The won also faced headwinds from renewed Middle East uncertainty, with oil prices rising amid ongoing US-Iran negotiations and concerns over potential disruptions to energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, South Korea’s exports surged 60.4% year-on-year in the first 20 days of June, driven by robust semiconductor shipments amid strong global AI-related demand. This supported expectations of continued foreign-currency inflows from overseas sales.
