On December 25, the Bank of Korea (BOK) announced it will decide next year whether and when to further cut interest rates, based on a comprehensive assessment of future data. The central bank also noted it will step up market monitoring and actively roll out stability measures amid heightened caution in domestic and foreign exchange markets. Last month, the BOK held its key interest rate steady for a fourth straight time at a policy meeting, hinting the current rate-cut cycle may be winding down as the weakening won has limited scope for additional monetary easing. Its next policy meeting is scheduled for January. (FXStreet)
