Driven by capital flows brought about by the AI boom, the won has changed from the worst performing currency in Asia to the best performing currency, and strategists believe there is room for further growth in the future. BNP Paribas said that as South Korean chip companies bring back capital from overseas to expand production, the Korean won is expected to continue to rise, but the pace of increase may be slow. Goldman Sachs Group said that the inflow of equity capital attracted by the rise in the Korean stock market will also support the won. The French Foreign Trade Bank believes that South Korea's export growth will boost the won. Goldman Sachs expects the exchange rate of the won to rise to 1,350 against the US dollar in the next 12 months. The exact amount of appreciation depends on the performance of Korea's Kospi Index.
