Disclaimer:

The rise in the South Korean reserves, particularly through securities, enhances the ability of the Bank of Korea to support the currency. This can be reassuring for those who have been concerned about currency volatility in light of global economic uncertainties. However, if the September rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve is more substantial than expected, we could see renewed pressure on the won as global investors seek higher yields in the dollar. Risk management is advised to complement these releases closely for further indications of market trends.
