Korean Won Strengthens to 1484.7 per Dollar, Down 70 Won This Month

According to이데일리, the Korean won fell to 1484.7 per U.S. dollar on July 15, marking its lowest level in two months since May 12. The currency has dropped approximately 70 won since early July, driven by weakened U.S. inflation expectations and increased dollar weakness. Foreign investors purchased nearly 3 trillion won in domestic stocks, supporting won strength, while semiconductor exporters and shipbuilders sold dollars to convert foreign exchange proceeds. The Bank of Korea is scheduled to hold a monetary policy committee meeting on July 16, with markets expecting a 25 basis point rate increase to 2.75 percent.
