South Korean Finance Min says will actively respond to speculative trading in FX market

South Korean Finance Minister Choo:

• South Korea will actively respond to speculative trading in the FX market
• Will take bond market stabilising measures if needed

On the inflation data just in (CPI accelerated for the 2nd consecutive month and is probably why he is grumpy):

• South Korea September CPI has come in at 0.6% m/m, higher than the 0.3% expected

Says inflation will likely stabilise again from October.

Its not like the KRW is doing much different to everything else vs. the super-strong USD
