# BofA revises USD/KRW forecast amid government intervention By Investing.com

> Bank of America moved its USD/KRW forecast down after the won hit its first-quarter 2026 target of 1,435 ahead of schedule. The rally followed a joint government and central bank statement on December 24 and reports of National Pension Service hedging on December 26. BofA expects further won gains through 2026, citing a weaker global dollar and bond index inclusion for Korean Treasury bonds.

## Why it matters

A forecast of continued won strength lowers the expected won cost of dollar-priced feed imports for Korean buyers. The main risk is strong retail demand for foreign assets, which could undermine the official support.
