Near-term: Leans LOWER conviction 47% · 514 up vs 1315 down scenarios

Korean won leans lower near-term — high conviction. Of the 1,829 mapped scenarios that move Korean won, 514 push it up and 1,315 push it down, and weighting each by its probability, size and how soon it bites, the book skews lower. The lead driver pushing Korean won lower is DXY melt-up triggers an EM sudden stop and reserve drain (30% likely, ~0.8% on Korean won). Regime backdrop: Hawkish Fed (3.50–3.75%, dot-plot leans to a HIKE), firm dollar, active US–Iran/Hormuz conflict, AI-led equity pullback.

What flips the down-lean: Central-bank gold super-surge tops 1,300t/yr (49% likely).
