KRW: Bank of Korea to manage volatility – Commerzbank
|The Korean Won is under pressure despite a benign macro backdrop, with recent GDP data showing contraction. The Bank of Korea is expected to maintain its policy rate amid rising home prices and volatility in the KRW. Commerzbank FX Analyst Moses Lim notes that USD-KRW may remain within a specific range.
BoK's cautious approach to policy
"We expect BoK to leave the policy rate unchanged at 2.5% at the next meeting on 26 February."
"For BoK, it is likely to step up efforts to reduce excessive volatility rather than to target any particular level."
