About US Dollar to South Korean Won Exchange Rate
What it measures
The South Korean won per US dollar exchange rate (FRED series DEXKOUS) records how many won one dollar buys, from the New York noon buying rate certified by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The daily series covers the transition from the pre-1997 managed regime through the free float adopted after the Asian financial crisis.
Why it matters
Korea is a top exporter of semiconductors, autos, and ships, so the won functions as a high-beta proxy for global trade and the tech cycle. Currency weakness aids exporter margins but raises imported energy costs. Global funds track the pair closely because won moves often lead broader Asian currency and equity market shifts when trade conditions turn.
How to read it
Higher values indicate won weakness. The rate roughly doubled to near 2000 during the 1997-98 crisis and spiked again above 1500 in 2008, with calmer ranges between crises. Sustained moves above historical stress thresholds have prompted authorities to intervene through smoothing operations. Read the won alongside semiconductor exports and the global risk cycle rather than domestic factors alone.
