But a majority of the analysts surveyed by The Korea Economic Daily on Sunday look past their worst-case scenarios and maintain their forecasts that the won will be steady to higher against the greenback in 2025 after pricing in the Trump administration's tariff policy.“The (domestic) foreign exchange market is past its political uncertainty,” said Hye-yoon Lim, an economist at Hanwha Investment & Securities.“There is little likelihood of the dollar/won rate rising above 1,450.“But (for the won) to rebound to its pre-martial law level, there needs to be a sign of the domestic economy recovering.
He noted that external economic conditions would outweigh domestic issues in the domestic foreign exchange market.“The dollar will sustain its upward trend at a moderate pace against a basket of major currencies after the Fed makes another rate cut this month, which will lead to economic growth and price increases,” said Kim.
