South Korean equities rose on Tuesday, ending a three-day slide as a U.S. tech rebound and weaker global oil eased inflation worries. The won weakened and government bond yields climbed: the most liquid 3-year yield rose 1.9bps to 3.653% and the 10-year benchmark was up 0.7bps at 3.865%. Major movers: Samsung Electronics +4%, SK Hynix +5%, LG Energy Solution +4%, Hyundai Motor +2%, POSCO Holdings +3%; Samsung Biologics -2%. Foreign investors were net buyers of about KRW136.2bn of equities.

Politico reports the House could vote this week on impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Hegseth. Even if approved, Speaker Johnson could refuse to transmit the articles to the Senate before the current Congress ends, potentially delaying any Senate trial until next year’s Congress if Democrats control both chambers. Johnson declined to commit to transmitting the articles, saying he will follow House rules and that he expects the measure will not pass the House. The impeachment was filed by Rep. Thomas Massie and has near-unanimous Democratic support.
