Analysts say persistent stock-market weakness is eroding market expectations that the Bank of Korea's terminal policy rate will reach 3.50%, with 3.25% now a possible alternative. Interest-rate swap pricing for further hikes has also moderated, amid concerns about weaker markets and possible slowing of U.S. data-center investment.
Lower expected Korean interest rates can influence the won and the financing environment, but the report describes changing market expectations rather than a direct feed-supply or demand shock. No clear commodity-price direction is established.
