Very quick summary of today's BoK meeting.
-5 out of BoK mem leave door open for rate hike to 3.75 while one remains @ 3.5
-Core CPI expected to get less moderated than headline CPI. CPI expected to more moderated in H2 but uncertain surrounding inflation remains still high.
-No need to respond to fx unrest w/ rate policy. But will respond if fx gets volatile.
-1Q growth expected to turn slightly +ve. (growth for this yr is projected to be slightly below Feb forecast of 1.6)
-Delinquency ratio on PF loans not that high. It's possible for housing mkt to make soft-landing
-Rate cut talk too premature. The decline in short-term rates is excessive, referring to 90D bonds yields.
