KOSPI Slides on Macro Anxiety as Rates and FX Shake Markets, LG Group Stands Out

The KOSPI came under heavy pressure as global inflation concerns deepened and market interest rates rose around the world. Key macroeconomic indicators, including interest rates and exchange rates, became unsettled, spreading broader macro anxiety across the market. Investor sentiment weakened, leaving the domestic stock market in a sharp downturn, but LG Group stood out with relative resilience. If higher rates and exchange-rate volatility continue, the broader index may remain under pressure. Source: mk.co.kr
