South Korea's Presidential Adviser says that US Treasury Secretary Bessent's earlier comment on KRW reflects views that Korea's investment might become difficult if it raises anxiety in the FX market

• Hopes that Korea's US investment bill will be passed in February and will communicate with the US to prevent tariffs from being raised. 
• Alaska LNG project has not been discussed between both countries and will be reviewed under principle of commercial feasibility after investment fund is launched. 

This statement from South Korea's Presidential Adviser highlights concerns about the potential implications of US comments on the Korean won (KRW) and how it may impact investment flows between the two nations. Given the context of possible tariffs and FX market anxiety, traders should watch for volatility in the KRW and consider how these geopolitical tensions could influence broader market sentiment, particularly in relation to South Korean equities and US bond markets.
