South Korea’s stock market posts sharpest reversal on record

The move comes after a month of high volatility that swung between major selloffs and a record rally, according to CNBC.

South Korea’s stock market staged its sharpest reversal on record on Friday, marking an abrupt turn after weeks of heavy turbulence, according to CNBC Markets.

CNBC World also described the session as the capstone to a month of wild swings in which the market saw both meltdowns and a record rally.

The reports frame the episode as part of a broader period of instability in South Korean equities, as investors digested shifting conditions that drove extreme day to day moves.
