On Wednesday, the South Korean won appreciated to approximately 1,380 per dollar, marking its strongest level in about a month as the dollar weakened prior to the Federal Reserve's policy announcement following its two-day meeting. While a 25-basis-point rate cut is already anticipated by the market, investors are now focusing on the Fed's forward guidance and the projected pace of its monetary easing cycle. Domestically, the won was bolstered by impressive trade figures, as South Korea's automobile exports surged by 8.6% in August, reaching $5.5 billion—a monthly record—fueled by robust demand for electric vehicles in Europe, despite tariffs imposed by the United States. Export volumes climbed by 5.5% to 200,317 units, with total shipments from January through August reaching an unprecedented $47.7 billion.
