What has happened in #SouthKorea last night might look like a non event, market-wise, as there has been a rapid turn-around as the martial law did not go through. However, it points to the increasing fragility of democratic regimes all over the world. From January onwards, a Trumpian world will make such events much more risky

Flashback: The Aussie appears to be trading with a negative correlation to Trump’s chances, as it did in 2020. In that election week, AUDUSD was around 0.7030 after the RBA cut the cash rate to 0.1% on Nov 3, but finished the week at 0.7258 as a Biden win looked highly likely.

A popular - and rather philosophical line - from the 1995 Stephen Chow movie “Out of the Dark” says “Bleeding from all your seven orifices is one thing, and being dead is another, never should you mistake the two as one”. That might as well apply to HK’s civil society.
In Hong Kong, a sweeping crackdown on dissent has seen >10,000 arrests, curbs on speech and a harsh national security law with a (so-far) 100% conviction rate. But Hong Kongers are still finding ways to resist. Great reporting by @holmeschan_ and @XinqiSu france24.com/en/live-news/20…
