What Moves the JPY/KRW Exchange Rate?
The JPY to KRW rate reflects the relative strength of two different economies, so it responds to developments on both sides of the pair.
Japanese Yen (JPY): Bank of Japan ultra-loose monetary policy and any shift away from it, the interest rate gap with the US, and safe-haven demand during global risk-off periods.
South Korean Won (KRW): Global demand for semiconductors and electronics, export performance, Bank of Korea policy, and regional geopolitical tensions.
When demand for the Japanese Yen rises relative to the South Korean Won, the JPY/KRW rate increases, meaning each JPY buys more KRW. The opposite happens when the South Korean Won strengthens.
