The Korean won has weakened further against the U.S. dollar as fears grow over the economic impact of conflict in the Middle East. The won extended a five-day spiral during trading on Tuesday surpassing 1-thousand-5-hundred-25 per dollar and marking the lowest intraday level since the March 2009 Global Financial Crisis.

This follows a warning from U.S. President Donald Trump that the U.S. could target Iranian power plants and energy facilities if a deal to end the month-long conflict isn't reached. Oil prices have continued to rise, with WTI crude jumping over 3 percent to above 102 dollars per barrel, the highest closing basis level since 2022. The weakening of the Korean won is attributed to money flowing into the traditional safe-haven dollar during times of heightened uncertainty.
