Идеи
Korean won pressured by Fed and equity flows
The hawkish Fed pivot is lifting US yields and the dollar, drawing cash away from Asia. In South Korea, the equity market rally is causing foreign funds to hit portfolio limits and sell, adding extra pressure to the won beyond the broad dollar strength.
Bullish on Japan and Korea equity momentum
Asian equities, particularly Japan's Nikkei and South Korea's KOSPI, have had record or near-record quarters, driven by confidence in the growth and AI story, large investment plans, and bullish analyst calls like JP Morgan forecasting further gains. Momentum is expected to continue despite volatility.
