Societe Generale analysts report that the South Korean won (KRW) has been trading in a range against the US dollar (USD), with the USD/KRW currency pair stalling after encountering interim resistance around the 1561 level in June [1]. According to the analysts, there is currently limited evidence to suggest a significant decline in the pair, and the recent pivot low of 1530 is identified as the initial support level should a short-term pullback occur [1].
The analysts further note that if USD/KRW breaks above the 1561 resistance, it could signal a resumption of the uptrend, with the next target projections set near 1573 and 1580 [1]. However, until such a breakout occurs, the pair is expected to continue evolving within its current range [1].
No specific market reactions or broader implications are discussed in the article, nor are there any forward-looking statements from other analysts beyond the technical outlook provided by Societe Generale [1].
CONCLUSION
Societe Generale analysts expect USD/KRW to remain rangebound, with key levels at 1530 and 1561 guiding near-term direction. A break above 1561 could trigger further upside, but no major decline is anticipated at this stage. Market impact is expected to be limited unless these technical thresholds are breached.
