The Quick Take
- Deutsche Bank has issued a forecast calling for further rate hikes by the Bank of Korea, adding hawkish expectations to an already volatile South Korean financial market environment.
- The call comes as South Korea's KOSPI index faces a significant sell-off driven by a combination of rate hike fears, AI chip stock pressure, and leveraged ETF unwinds.
- Higher Korean rates would strengthen the Korean won against the dollar, potentially impacting the competitiveness of South Korea's export-dependent economy.
