It's time now on this Friday afternoon to get a wrap-up of the market action this week.
And for that we have on the line Dr. Kim Sei-wan, professor of economics at Ewha Woman's University.
Thanks for making time today, Dr. Kim.
You're welcome.
The WTO has ruled in favor of Korea in a dispute with Japan... over Korea banning marine products from the area near Fukushima, where of course radiation leaked from a powerplant when the earthquake and tsunami struck in 2011.
It said the ban is not a case of unfair trade restrictions.
What does this mean for the two countries trade relations?
This week stocks on Wall Street were down in part because of the back and forth on Brexit. European markets in the red too. What happened overall this week in Korea and globally?
The Korean finance ministry's recent greenbook on the economy showed some improvements in terms of production, investment, consumption and so on. But there are still major concerns about exports. How are exports looking this month and going forward?
We had the summit in Washington DC on Thursday between Presidents Moon and Trump. Was there any effect on the markets coming out of that?
We'll have to leave it there today, Dr. Kim.
Thanks as always for your insights.
