FX & Currency Strategy

The USD/KRW exchange rate is the key variable for Korean exporter earnings and foreign investor fund flows. In the Fed rate-cutting cycle, expectations for dollar weakening and JPY/USD normalization (yen strengthening) are drawing attention. Gold (GLD) serves as an alternative currency in a dollar-weak, geopolitically uncertain environment.
