Market news: Russian missiles struck Kyiv, Ukraine.October 22 – According to the New York Times, citing US officials and others briefed on the discussions, the US and Israeli militaries have developed concrete plans to launch another strike against Iran after the US midterm elections.

Experts believe the Bank of Korea will continue its tight monetary policy stance, but compared to a rare third consecutive rate hike, it is more likely to adjust the pace of policy by pausing rate increases and assess the timing of further rate hikes. Experts pointed out that strong semiconductor exports driving economic growth, along with upward inflationary pressures from both supply-side and demand-side factors, mean the rate hike cycle may continue in the short term. From January to August this year, South Koreas cumulative current account surplus reached $279.2 billion, nearly four times the $69.67 billion in the same period last year.Nasdaq futures extended their losses to 0.5%, Tesla (TSLA.O) fell 2.3%, and Micron Technology (MU.O), SanDisk (SNDK.O), and SK Hynix (SKHY.O) all dropped by about 1%.
