Excluding rare exceptions, this period stands between 1 PM and 5 PM GMT. Navigating this window, traders may experience increased market activity, but they must always stay alert to the volatility inherent in peak times.

Regarding the Korean economy, traders must keep tabs on the country's export performance - particularly in electronics and automobiles, Bank of Korea policy changes, and geopolitical events in that part of Asia.

The unpredictability of the market means even well-researched decisions carry inherent risks, which drives investors to stay updated all the time.
