Описание

South Korea's composite consumer sentiment fell for the third consecutive month in July. According to the Bank of Korea, the figure stands at 95-point-9 for this month,... down one-point-six points from June. It's the lowest level since last November. The BOK attributed the fall to Japan's export restrictions on South Korea, the ongoing U.S.-China trade war, sluggish export growth and falling stock prices. The index is below one-hundred, indicating pessimists on the economy outnumber optimists.
