Korea 3Y corp bond yield falls 0.5 bps to 2.945%

The yield on South Korea's 3-year corporate bond has fallen by 0.5 basis points to 2.945%, according to the latest over-the-counter interbank yield quotes as of July 2, 2025. This marks a slight decrease from the previous session, which saw the yield at 2.95%. Over the past month, the yield has increased by 0.05 points, though it remains 0.94 points lower than a year ago [1].

Historically, the South Korea 3-Year Note Yield reached an all-time high of 6.17% in July 2008. The current yield of 2.945% is significantly lower than the peak levels seen during the financial crisis. The yield is expected to trade at 2.40% by the end of the current quarter and is forecasted to be around 2.37% in 12 months' time, according to global macro models and analyst expectations [1].

The decrease in the 3-year corporate bond yield reflects a broader trend of lower interest rates globally, driven by central bank policies aimed at stimulating economic growth. This shift is likely to continue, given the current economic conditions and the outlook for monetary policy.

Investors and financial professionals should monitor these developments closely, as changes in bond yields can significantly impact investment strategies and market sentiment. The South Korean economy's performance and monetary policy decisions will also play a crucial role in determining future bond yield movements.
