Headline:<\/strong> Won slides against the dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Listen to the audio version<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Story<\/strong>
The won weakened to about 1,533 per dollar, its softest level in months. A weaker won cushions Korean exporters on price but raises import and dollar-financing costs, and it lands just as Korean firms ramp up large US capital commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trade & Tariff<\/strong>
Seoul reaffirmed that US tariffs on Korean goods will not exceed the agreed 15%, after trade chief Kim Jung-kwan and negotiators met USTR Jamieson Greer. Autos and parts hold at 15%, and semiconductors are to be treated on terms no less favorable than peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korean Corporate Tracker<\/strong>
The post-deal domestic investment wave still anchors the story: Samsung ~450 trillion won over five years (Pyeongtaek expansion), Hyundai Motor Group ~125 trillion won 2026-2030 (R&D, AI, robotics, autonomy), and SK at least ~128 trillion won through 2028. US-facing capex now competes with these domestic commitments amid a weaker won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BCW Take<\/strong>
With the 15% ceiling holding but the won sliding, the smart move is to lock US project pricing and dollar exposure now rather than wait for further currency drift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New:<\/strong> The Hyundai Way<\/em> is now available in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover.
Inside the culture, leadership, and strategy that built a global automaker, the work-funneling model, the chaebol timeline, and the five transformation vectors reshaping Hyundai’s next decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
