Seoul, August 22, 2024 – According to Yonhap News Agency, the Korean Wontraded at 1,334.7 against the US dollar as of 3:30 PM today, marking a 1.9 won increase from the previous trading day.
The recent rise in the Korean Won’sexchange rate is attributed to multiple factors. Firstly, the continuous rise in international oil prices has led to increased import costs for South Korea, boosting demand for the Korean Won. Secondly, the weakening of the US dollar due to a decrease in expectationsfor the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates has also provided support for the Korean Won’s appreciation.
Furthermore, the South Korean government has recently implemented a series of policies aimed at stimulating economic growth, including increased infrastructure investment and tax cuts. These measures have boosted market confidence in the Korean economy, further contributing to the KoreanWon’s rise.
However, some analysts point out that the Korean Won’s appreciation may be limited. On one hand, the South Korean economy continues to face pressure from the global economic slowdown and intensifying trade friction. On the other hand, the Bank of Korea has recently hinted at maintaining a tight monetary policyto curb inflation.
The future trajectory of the Korean Won’s exchange rate will depend on various factors, including the global economic situation, the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, the outlook for South Korea’s economic growth, and geopolitical risks.
