South Korea says it has a North Korean soldier in custody

South Korea’s intelligence agency says it has an injured North Korean soldier in custody.

No further details as yet.

Added … OK, here we go:

• the injured North Korean soldier is from the Ukraine war

As I said above, tensions on the Korean peninsula will, at the margin, be a yen positive (flight to safety/liquidity … so USD positive also). The moves used to be intense on such news that has dissipated.
