USDKRW

USD/KRW easing into closing trades as EUR bid is renewed along with fresh buying on the local bourse. USD/KRW now looking to test levels below 1153 as the Kospi heads back up towards the day's highs. As noted, the slippage in the JPY/KRW is seen having limited scope for extending downside; and to that extent the offers from Japanese exporters in the JPY crosses is providing some elbow space for short USD/KRW bets. With the break below the 1153 handle 1150 level support is expected to spring into action to hold off follow-through offers. Intervention risks are elevated at current levels if intervention triggers last week were anything to go by. VV
