South Korean regulators eased margin trading rules to halt a wave of forced selling in the stock market. Investing.com reported that these measures are specifically aimed at reducing the frequency of margin calls and subsequent forced liquidations.
The South Korean Financial Services Commission implemented the move in response to heightened market volatility and a significant increase in forced selling that threatened domestic equity prices. This intervention follows recent economic data showing exports grew by 93.7% on November 1, 2026, while the annual inflation rate stood at 2.8% as of November 2, 2026.
