Moody's Analytics predicts the Bank of Korea will raise its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.75% this week, marking the start of a gradual tightening cycle. This move is supported by inflation exceeding targets, a weakening Korean Won, rising household debt, and increasing home prices in Seoul. The central bank's monetary policy committee has justification for a rate hike, especially with economic growth fueled by semiconductor exports. Separately, China's e-commerce logistics index rose to 111.4 in June, driven by seasonal demand and a comprehensive increase across all sub-indices, with the western region showing the most significant growth.
