Following the news, USD/KRW refreshes seven-day low while declining to 1,093, down 0.32% on a day. Earlier in the day, South Korea’s Consumer Sentiment Index also eased from 97.9 in November to 89.8 in December while nearly marching 89.7 forecasts. The pair’s downside could be traced to the broad US dollar weakness amid risk-on mood, backed by the American covid stimulus headlines.
