Multiple positive catalysts are also difficult to boost, putting heavy pressure on the Korean won due to the large US investment agreement.

Jichuang Finance APP learned that due to an expected influx of US dollar exchange demand in the coming years from a 350 billion US dollar investment agreement with the United States, the South Korean won is facing pressure. The currency should have all the conditions to perform strongly in September, such as the South Korea Composite Stock Price Index hitting an all-time high, foreign investors pouring in, and the US dollar weakening due to the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates - however, the won has hardly moved. Analysts from Citigroup and Societe Generale pointed out that the uncertainty of the US agreement is the main hindrance, as little is known about the specific structure of the agreement beyond rough numbers.
