Bank of Korea May Stand Pat in 2026 Amid Focus on Financial Stability -- Market Talk

Dow Jones2025-11-28

0339 GMT - The Bank of Korea's focus on financial stability amid the country's resilient economic activity prompts DBS Group Research to drop its earlier forecast for a rate cut in 1Q 2026. "We now anticipate the policy rate will remain at 2.50% through 2026," DBS economists Ma Tieying and Samuel Tse write in a note. They see the BOK signaling the end of its current easing cycle, as its latest policy statement has removed a part indicating that it would maintain a rate-cut stance. The number of BOK board members in support of further easing also decreased to three in November from four in October and five in August, they add. (kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com)
