Version 0.1 (2024-04-12 02:35:05.428000)

updates: The Bank of Korea's decision to maintain the benchmark interest rate at 3.5% for the 10th consecutive time reflects concerns about inflation and the potential impact of rate cuts on the housing market. The decision is in line with market expectations and comes amid rising concerns over project financing developments and weak private spending. Additionally, the decision shows that the Bank of Korea will continue to fight inflation for now but is positioning itself for a potential pivot later this year. The bank also stated that core inflation is likely to slow to the 2% range by the end of the year. Rising costs of living and weakness in the won were key concerns for voters in the recent parliamentary election. The won has been one of Asia's worst performers this year, and expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts have been pushed back. Household debt and strong external demand are also factors influencing the Bank of Korea's cautious stance. BOK Governor Rhee Chang-yong has pushed back against expectations of early rate cuts, citing the won's weakness and the economy's strong performance. The Bank of Korea's decision was in line with expectations and bond yields edged lower after the announcement.
