The South Korean won weakened past 1,517 per dollar, approaching the more than 17-year low of around 1,520 reached on May 22, as renewed Middle East tensions boosted oil prices and supported demand for the US dollar. Investors turned cautious amid reports that Iran suspended negotiations with the US, fueling fears of further disruptions to global energy markets, with higher crude prices posing a risk to South Korea’s trade balance as a major energy importer. The currency also remained under pressure from broader risk aversion across regional markets. Meanwhile, South Korea’s annual inflation rate accelerated to 3.1% in May, the highest in more than two years, reinforcing expectations that the Bank of Korea could move toward a rate hike as early as July. The currency also drew support from continued optimism over the country’s semiconductor sector, after Nvidia unveiled a new AI-focused chip and discussed AI memory cooperation with SK Group.
