Definition

Today’s Price

• 1 USD = 1,429.10 KRW (as of February 27, 2026, 12:00 UTC)
• 24h High: 1,441.30 KRW
• 24h Low: 1,430.60 KRW
• Current Rate: 1,441.15 KRW (+0.57%)

Market Analysis

Recently, USD/KRW has demonstrated range-bound behavior with a subtle downside bias. The currency pair continues to trade within defined boundaries, supported by strong Korean export data and measures to repatriate foreign exchange earnings. However, recent U.S. tariff uncertainty remains a headwind for the won’s appreciation potential.

• Technical levels: Key resistance around 1,450 KRW; support zone approximately 1,320–1,350 KRW range
• Risk note: Any deterioration in broader risk sentiment could still constrain won gains, as KRW is a high-beta proxy sensitive to market volatility
• Trading opportunities: Watch for potential continuation lower after consolidation; ING forecasts USD/KRW could fall back to 1,425 by end of March, signaling potential won strength

Conclusion

Continue to monitor the USD/KRW pair closely, integrating technical range patterns with macro drivers such as U.S. tariff policies and Korean export performance. For traders, focus on range-bound trading strategies while awaiting greater clarity on the tariff path and its impact on broader risk appetite.
