South Korean Won: Semiconductor pullback weighs on KRW – DBS

Source Fxstreet

DBS Group Research’s Chang Wei Liang highlights that USD/KRW has pushed above 1530 as weakness in semiconductor stocks adds pressure on the Korean Won. He links KRW softness to foreign investor profit-taking after a sharp KOSPI rally and warns that further outflows, limited exporter repatriation of overseas earnings, and persistently high Oil prices could destabilize the currency.

Won vulnerable on chips and flows

"USD/KRW have sallied above 1530, and wobbles in semiconductor stocks today could pose another risk."

"Following a retreat in US semiconductor stocks led by an industry bellwether on Thursday, Korean chipmakers have fallen 6% in early trading today."

"KRW weakness has been ascribed to outflows amid profit-taking by foreign investors after a scorching 93% rally in the KOSPI year-to-date."

"More investor profit-taking going forward could destabilize the KRW, especially with Korean exporters not fully repatriating overseas earnings while oil prices remain sticky near USD100."
