South Korea Extends Fuel Tax Cut by Two Months to Jan. 31

The extension is a routine cost-of-living measure rather than a market-moving event, and the absence of any detail on the size of the cut limits how much can be read into it. What matters is the signal: the government is still willing to absorb pump-price pressure into the new year rather than let the reduction lapse. Whether that stance holds beyond January, and whether the scope of the cut is adjusted, is the open question worth watching.
