Bessent: Trump Will Decide Whether to Extend Trade Talks
Odaily Planet Daily News: U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent stated that former President Trump will decide whether to extend negotiations with trade partners beyond the July 9 deadline. When asked on CNBC on Thursday about the possibility of extending the deadline, Bessent said, "We will act according to the President's wishes, and it is up to him to decide whether they are negotiating in good faith." Bessent mentioned that he met with the EU trade representative on Thursday morning and noted that U.S. Trade Representative Greer will "work hard with European officials over the weekend." When asked about negotiations with Japan, Bessent said that no agreement has been reached yet, possibly due to the complexity of Japan's domestic politics. Regarding Vietnam, Bessent said his understanding is that an agreement has been "reached in principle," with the 20% tariff announced by Trump being a core part of the deal, and that this will not be added on top of the general 10% tariff.

In the third quarter, Korean retail investors made net purchases of US stocks worth approximately 10.15 trillion won, marking a complete reversal from the previous pattern in the first half of the year, when they made net purchases of nearly 100 trillion won in KOSPI stocks. In September alone, the sell-off amount reached as high as 14.2 trillion won. Analysts attribute this shift to a combination of factors: a sharp decline in KOSPI at high levels, the continued strength of the US stock market driven by AI themes, and the appreciation of the Korean won reducing currency exchange costs.
