Changes in Korean Regulations for Listed Companies: 5% Ownership & Overheated Short-Selling Stocks
- In this insight, we discuss the impact of the Korean financial regulators announcing numerous important changes related to 5% ownership and overheated short-selling stocks.
- The changes in the 5% rule could have a greater impact on the smaller companies, especially those that could be potential M&A candidates.
- The FSC also provided revised regulations for stocks that are designated as overheated short selling candidates.
UK: Inflation’s Food Poisoning Worsens
- UK inflation exceeded forecasts again as it rose to 10.1% and 12.3% on the CPI and RPI. The food price surge intensified enough to drive most of the upside.
- We extend the food price trend, bolstering the forecast, but welcome the ongoing easing of the underlying inflation impulse.
- Energy prices drive near-term inflation volatility, including through the ONS’s overdue methodological judgement about energy bill credits on 31 August.
