What influences the CAD/KRW exchange rate?
The monetary policy of the Bank of Korea is focused on inflation targeting, so The Bank of Korea works on setting mid-term inflation targets. An inflation target may be set for a two-year period, but the Board may adjust their target if unexpected economic changes occur abroad or at home.1
The Canadian dollar (CAD) works under a floating exchange rate regime. Therefore, the CAD exchange rate may be determined by supply and demand. Other factors that might influence CAD’s value include commodity prices, interest rates, and inflation rates.2
Korea also follows a free-floating exchange rate system. Therefore, the CAD/KRW exchange rate may fluctuate based upon demand for primary exports. Also, KRW exchange rates against currencies other than the USD are “arrived at by arbitrating between the USD rates of foreign currencies in the international markets and the basic exchange rate of the KRW against the USD.3 As a result, the value of the USD may factor into the CAD/KRW exchange rate as well.
