South Korea's central bank held an emergency meeting Friday morning... to evaluate the impact on the country's financial markets... of the U.S.-China trade tensions and North Korea's projectile launches.
BOK governor Lee Ju-yeol said the rise in uncertainty surrounding the U.S.-China trade talks is affecting global and local financial markets.
Korea's benchmark KOSPI plunged three percent on Thursday to close at 21-02, the biggest one-day drop since last October.
There was a slight recovery today though.
The BOK chief said the bank will closely monitor the U.S.-China trade talks... and help stabilize markets through close cooperation with the government.
