The Bank of Korea (BoK) delivered a hawkish 25bp rate hike, bringing the benchmark rate to 2.75%. According to BNY's Geoff Yu, the central bank signaled that both GDP and core inflation are expected to outpace previous projections, reinforcing the tightening bias.

The move occurs amid semiconductor sector volatility, which adds a layer of uncertainty for the South Korean economy. The hawkish guidance may support the Korean won in the near term, though external risks remain.
