Global investors are dumping South Korean stocks at an unprecedented pace:
Foreign investors sold -$801 million of Kospi-listed shares on Monday.
This follows -$10 billion in outflows recorded last week.
Foreign investors have now offloaded South Korean stocks in every trading session over the past month.
This brings total year-to-date sales to -$75 billion, according to Goldman Sachs.
By contrast, domestic retail and institutional investors bought +$69 billion over the same period.
South Korea's stock market is making history.
Oil at these levels starts to become a meaningful inflation concern that could influence Fed policy expectations. If oil stays elevated heading into next week’s economic data, expect bond markets to react.
