Why the Korean Won Rout Is Spreading to Other EM Currencies

The Korean won just suffered its worst week in over a decade, and it's not staying contained to Seoul. Lucas and Luna examine how the 19% collapse in the won — driven by geopolitical risk and capital flight — is now spilling over into Taiwanese, Brazilian, and Indian currencies. They break down why the EWY ETF is down 19% in a week, what the won's plunge tells us about the fragility of 'safe EM' narratives, and whether the Federal Reserve's next move could amplify or calm the contagion. Plus, they connect the won rout to the broader dollar strength story and what it means for anyone holding emerging market bonds or equities. #KoreanWon #EmergingMarkets #CurrencyContagion #EWY #EEM #VWO #WonCrash #DollarStrength #CapitalFlight #GeopoliticalRisk #CentralBanks #TaiwanDollar #BrazilianReal #IndianRupee #FXInvesting #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
