Global Markets Stir as U. S. Debate and Economic Data Shape the Future

As the world holds its breath for the U. S. presidential debate, Asian markets are reeling from key economic data. In South Korea, unemployment plummeted to a historic low of 2. 4%, a feat not seen since 1999. But in Japan, business confidence among manufacturers took a seven-month hit, according to the Reuters Tankan survey. What does this mean for the global economic landscape? Is South Korea's success a model for others to follow, or is it a one-time fluke? Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp saw a 33% year-on-year revenue increase in August, but dropped 2. 4% from July. Is this a sign of the company's resilience, or a temporary blip on the radar? Ultimately, the debate is not just about the candidates - it's about the future of our global economy.
