The U.S. midterm elections have injected fresh uncertainty into Korean and broader Asian markets, with analysts warning of volatility. On Nov. 3, the KOSPI plunged 3.6% to 5,640 amid fears over the election and a drop in AI stocks, as Business Korea reported. The next day, Seoul shares opened sharply higher on tech gains as investors awaited results, with the KOSPI rising 124.21 points, according to the Korea Times. Korean financial authorities said they will closely monitor the election's impact and take countermeasures if needed, per the Korea Times. Analysts say a Democratic sweep dims prospects for a Trump-Kim summit, the Korea Times reported. Korean media note that major U.S. networks project Democrats winning both chambers, with some describing it as a wipe-out, KBS World reported. Market analysts cited by the Korea Times see growing policy uncertainty after Democrats regained Congress, though President Trump said he will accept the results, per the Korea Times.
