OCBC strategists Sim Moh Siong and Christopher Wong report that the Korean Won (KRW) strengthened alongside gains in tech equities, lower Oil prices and strong export data, including a surge in semiconductor shipments. They note a bearish engulfing pattern and rejection near 1388 in USD/KRW, pointing to near-term downside risk, though patchy foreign equity flows mean sustained buying is still needed for a firmer KRW footing.
Technical rejection signals softer USD/KRW "KRW strengthened alongside gains in Korean, US tech equities and lower oil prices overnight. Domestic data was also supportive, with exports rising 78.3% YoY in the first 20 days of September, led by a 259% surge in semiconductor shipments."
Richmond Federal Reserve (Fed) President Thomas Barkin said on Tuesday that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decided to raise interest rates last Wednesday because inflation risks outweighed those to maximum employment.
Barkin, who spoke at an event in Baltimore, said, “Last week's rate hike will help restore price stability, we'll see if more hikes are needed,” and remains unsure about further tightening needed by the Fed to tackle inflationary pressures.

#ClarityActFacesProceduralVoteSept15 A CLARITY法にとっての重要な試金石――米国の暗号資産市場構造に関する最初の包括的な連邦枠組みを定めることになる法案が、9月15日火曜日に到来する。同日、上院はまず、そもそも正式な審議を始めるのかどうかについて手続的なクロー チャー(打ち切り)投票を行う。
動きが出たのは、2026年8月上旬になってからだった。上院多数党院内総務ジョン・サン(John Thune)は、8月8日午前4時52分(米東部時間)の「審議に入る動議(motion to proceed)」に対するクロー チャー動議を提出した。これは深夜の会期の終盤で、議場が5週間の夏休みに入る直前だった。この提出によって、9月15日の投票日――上院議員がワシントンに戻った翌日――が確定した。
