What Moves the KRW/JPY Exchange Rate?
The KRW to JPY rate reflects the relative strength of two different economies, so it responds to developments on both sides of the pair.
South Korean Won (KRW): Global demand for semiconductors and electronics, export performance, Bank of Korea policy, and regional geopolitical tensions.
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.
When demand for the South Korean Won rises relative to the Japanese Yen, the KRW/JPY rate increases, meaning each KRW buys more JPY. The opposite happens when the Japanese Yen strengthens.
