Market Chatter: Bank of Korea Warns of Continued Volatility from Trump Tariffs

MT Newswires Live04-08

The Bank of Korea on Monday warned of extended financial market instability as US President Donald Trump's new tariffs, including a 25% duty on South Korean goods, are rattling global trade, Yonhap News reported the same day.

The tariffs, part of Trump's reciprocal trade push, led to sharp losses in domestic markets, with the Korea Composite Stock Price Index, or Kospi, plunging over 4% and the won nearing 1,470 per dollar--its weakest level since 2009, the report said.

Bank of Korea's Deputy Governor Ryoo Sang-dai urged 24-hour monitoring and swift stabilization measures, citing heightened uncertainty around US trade policy, it said.
