In response, the dollar weakened and demand for safe havens surged, with gold prices hitting fresh all-time highs. Market participants are now reassessing their outlook on future monetary policy.

Meanwhile, a significant shift is brewing on the global stage — South Korea is moving toward developed market status, a change that could alter capital flows and global investment strategies.
