ING cut its year-end forecast for the Korean won by 11% to 1,180 per dollar, citing the risk of an intensifying US-China trade war. The bank called the won the most exposed floating Asian currency to that conflict, and noted it was already Asia's worst performer that month.
A forecast of a weaker won signals rising costs for South Korean feed and grain importers and a possible slowdown in Korean and Chinese demand, while the dollar strengthens against Asian currencies.
