Markets: Because of Korean political problems The benchmark KOSPI dropped 1% to close at 2,405 points on Friday, extending losses from the previous session, dragged down by sharp losses from nearly all sectors.

Politics

A night chaos makes 6-hour martial law.

According to Yoon Suk, South Korea’s since-impeached president imposed martial law on opponents.

Yoon imposed martial law in the middle of the night on Dec. 3, plunging South Korea into its worst political crisis in decades — with the defense minister playing a critical role.

Economy

Korean won has been losing value over time.

Korean political issues have been causing bad effects on the Korean economy, especially South Korea’s martial law.

During Friday's trading session, the value of the Korean currency against the U.S. dollar soared to over 1,480 won for the first time since March 16, 2009, when it reached 1,488 won during the financial crisis.

The win opened at 1,467.5 against the dollar, up 2.7 won from the previous session, and surged to 1,482.6 won by 11:03 a.m. It closed at 1,467.5 won.

In addition to domestic political uncertainties, the U.S. Federal Reserve's potential adjustment to the pace of interest rate cuts is fueling the strength of the dollar.

As a result, it is predicted that the exchange rate might rise to 1.5k won in the next year.
