A trade surplus of USD 39.2 billion was recorded in South Korea in 2019, marking the 11th consecutive year of net exports, notwithstanding a downturn in the semiconductor, petrochemical, and petroleum products industries, as well as challenges from the United States-China trade dispute, Japan's export restrictions, Brexit, and protests in Hong Kong.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the KRW while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the KRW.
