About South Korean Won (KRW)

- •Bank of Korea targets 2% CPI inflation

Frequently Asked Questions
When is AUD/KRW most liquid?
Liquidity is deepest during the Tokyo and Hong Kong sessions (00:00–08:00 UTC) when KRW markets are open. Spreads widen noticeably during the New York afternoon and Asian public holidays.
What is a typical daily range for AUD/KRW?
Daily ranges vary with volatility regimes. Majors like EUR/USD typically move 0.5–1.2% on quiet days and 2–3% on data-release days. Check the 30-day chart above for a sense of the current range.
What economic events move AUD/KRW the most?
The biggest scheduled catalysts are RBA monthly meetings (first Tuesday), Australian CPI, and Chinese PMIs and Bank of Korea decisions and Korean semiconductor export data. Geopolitical headlines and global risk sentiment also produce meaningful moves, especially when one currency is a safe-haven and the other is risk-sensitive.
Is it cheaper to convert AUD to KRW at a bank or online?
Online money-transfer services (Wise, Revolut, Remitly, InstaRem) typically offer rates much closer to the mid-market AUD/KRW than traditional banks. Always compare the total delivered amount, not just the advertised "fee" — many providers embed their margin in the exchange rate itself.
Does the AUD/KRW rate change on weekends?
The interbank forex market closes from Friday 21:00 UTC until Sunday 21:00 UTC, so mid-market AUD/KRW rates don't update during that window. Retail broker spreads often widen at Sunday open as Asian desks reopen, so the first few hours of the new week can carry wider execution costs.
