SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korean acting President Choi Sang-mok said on Friday authorities would closely monitor financial markets, citing high uncertainty over U.S. trade policy and global geopolitical factors.
Choi said authorities would communicate with market participants, as they prepare to lift a stock short-selling ban imposed in November 2023 at the end of this quarter as planned.
