# US Midterms: Won-Dollar Exchange Rate Short-Term Volatility Rises on US Fiscal and Global Tech Stock Uncertainty

> Korean analysts expect short-term volatility in the won-dollar rate ahead of the US midterm elections and key US jobs data. Uncertainty over US fiscal policy, possible Democratic control of the House, and a global tech stock correction are cited as drivers. KB Kookmin Bank forecasts a weekly won-dollar range of 1,320 to 1,350 won and a monthly range of 1,290 to 1,360 won.

## Why it matters
