Bank of Korea Faces Pressure to Raise Rates After Fed Hike

The Bank of Korea is expected to face increasing pressure to raise its benchmark interest rate following the US Federal Reserve's first rate hike in over three years, which widened the interest rate gap between South Korea and the United States to up to 1 percentage point. Analysts cite persistent inflation, strong economic growth, high household debt, and rising housing prices in Seoul as factors that may prompt the BOK to hike rates later this year, possibly in November.

It was revealed that upper resistance is expected around 1,400 won, but it is difficult to predict if geopolitical conflict worsens.
