The USD/KRW exchange rate reaching 1600 (High) in 2026 has a 40.5% probability in prediction markets. This reflects moderate skepticism due to structural and cyclical factors influencing the Korean won and U.S. dollar dynamics over the next two years.
A sustained weakening of the Korean won could occur if South Korea's export growth slows further, reducing current account surpluses, while the U.S. maintains higher-for-longer interest rates or pursues aggressive fiscal expansion. Geopolitical tensions (e.g., North Korea provocations) or domestic policy missteps (e.g., excessive fiscal easing) could exacerbate depreciation pressures.
Structural resilience in the Korean won may persist if export performance remains robust (e.g., semiconductors, EVs) and the Bank of Korea maintains relatively high interest rates compared to peers. A global risk-off shift or U.S. dollar strength reversal (e.g., Fed rate cuts) could limit upside for USD/KRW, keeping it below 1600.
