Asian equities edge up on Powell’s remark

In South Korea, the KOSPI index managed to rally about 0.3%. As a matter of fact, the Bank of Korea had the country’s economic surge forecast for this year cut in its bi-annual economic policy report, citing a dismal labor market revival as well as global trade tension as the reason for this cut.
Aside from shipments of semiconductors, exports surge ceased and investment shrank between these two countries. That’s why both countries put a lot of value on this agreement.
