The AI Trade Beyond Chips: Navigating FX Risk in Korea & Taiwan

The growth of artificial intelligence has placed Korea and Taiwan at the center of the global semiconductor and technology ecosystem. For international investors, however, exposure to these markets is not limited to the underlying equities. Movements in the Korean won and Taiwan dollar can materially influence portfolio returns, creating an additional layer of risk—or opportunity—that needs to be considered separately from the investment thesis itself.

This webinar will explore how SGX KRW/USD and TWD/USD Futures can be used to manage or express currency views linked to Korean and Taiwanese markets. Using recent market examples, we will examine periods of sharp FX volatility, the relationship between KRW and TWD, the importance of offshore and extended-hours access, and practical applications ranging from portfolio hedging to relative-value positioning. The session will conclude with chart-based market analysis to connect the macro view with practical implementation.

Outline

  • Understanding the currency exposure embedded in Korean and Taiwanese investments
  • KRW and TWD: common AI and semiconductor drivers, but potentially different market behavior
  • Why offshore and extended-hours access matters when domestic markets are closed
  • Practical applications using SGX KRW/USD and TWD/USD Futures for hedging and relative-value positioning
  • Translating a macro FX view into practical market analysis and trade implementation
