South Korea’s financial regulator will step up its monitoring of the market, paying particular attention to stocks associated with Donald Trump and the growing volatility in the cryptocurrency space. The decision comes after the recent U.S. election results and the Federal Reserve’s latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement. During a meeting of the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) on November 8, FSS Director Lee Bok-hyun stressed the need to take strict measures against market manipulation and the spread of unfounded rumors if there is evidence to support it.
