Korean currency weakens 10.9 won to 1,484.1 won per dollar, KOSPI drops 1.7%

The Korean currency weakened to the lowest level in more than 16 years against the U.S. dollar, Wednesday, as Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs take effects.

The won closed at 1,484.1 won per dollar on the daytime trading market, depreciating by 10.9 won from the previous day’s close. It was the lowest level since March 12, 2009, during the global financial crisis.

The won’s depreciation was largely attributable to a 25 percent tariff against Korea-manufactured goods, market analysts said.

New US and European tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) have created market opportunities for South Korean manufacturers. While South Korean EV exports remain behind Chinese volumes, manufacturers can gain market share by emphasising design, performance, safety and transparency. As such, the US Inflation Reduction Act benefits South Korean producers, though political uncertainty poses risks. Success depends on leveraging technological expertise while adapting to policy shifts.

BEIJING, March 31 (Reuters) - China, Japan and South Korea agreed to jointly respond to U.S. tariffs, a social media account affiliated with Chinese state media said on Monday, an assertion Seoul called "somewhat exaggerated", while Tokyo said there was no such discussion.
