KOREA
KOREA: USDKRW has recovered all of the losses seen earlier this week, closing
the gap left at the Monday open to trade at 1119.0, up ~0.5% on the day. KRWJPY
meanwhile has broken lower, losing almost 1% to suggest a topping pattern is in
progress. 
- The Kospi is down 1.6% as it follows Us futures lower, breaking below up
trendline support from the Oct 30 lows. This is putting intense downward
pressure on Korean rates, with the 2-year down 5.8bps at 1.84% and the 10-year
down 7bps at 1.86%. The curve is inverted from 6 months out to 9 years. 
- The re-widening of US-Korea real yield spreads strongly points to further
upside in USDKRW which should also benefit from any further risk-off sentiment.
