- South Korea reported 528 daily new coronavirus cases on Tuesday, back below 600 on fewer tests over the weekend, but health authorities remained alert over a potential hike amid continued cluster inflections and spreading variant cases.
- Elsewhere the US will provide up to 80 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines to other countries by the end of next month, President Biden said Monday, reiterating his pledge to turn his country into an "arsenal" of vaccines for the entire world.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in is set to visit Washington this week for his in-person summit with Biden on Friday.
- There are no domestic releases on the docket today, as a reminder South Korean markets are closed for a holiday tomorrow. Upon their return on Wednesday PPI data will be released, while export data is on the slate for later this week.
