North Korea's launch of short-range flying objects has attracted the attention of the international community. Why did it cause such a big reaction?

Under the influence of public opinion, North Korea has proved its protest against the joint military exercise with actions, and the international community must pay considerable attention to these. I think this kind of test-firing activity seems to be in response to the show of force in the joint military exercise between the United States and South Korea, and at the same time, it shows Cheongwadae, the presidential palace of South Korea, that North Korea has the ability to develop short-range ballistic missiles. Seoul and Washington began summer military exercises on Monday, which is a "joint command post training" based on computer simulation. Its main activities are scheduled to start on Sunday and last for 65,438+00 days. Although the United States and South Korea said that the exercise was defensive and aimed at testing the transfer of wartime operational command from Washington to Seoul, North Korea condemned the exercise as a rehearsal of military invasion, repeatedly asked the United States and South Korea to cancel the exercise, and threatened to seek "new methods" to solve this problem.

Moreover, North Korea is very dissatisfied with American interference and often speaks harshly. It said that the hysteria of the US authorities towards nuclear war, including Trump, has reached an extremely reckless and arrogant stage. If there are signs that the United States takes preventive war action, North Korea will turn the United States into a "nuclear battlefield". The United States is a big economy, which has seriously caused panic among people all over the world, and measures such as buying yen have been taken to avoid risks.

Moreover, news from the geopolitical situation on the Korean peninsula usually has limited impact on the market, because in the face of North Korea's nuclear program, global powers led by the United States have generally adopted a patient attitude and are still seeking to resolve the crisis through diplomatic channels. Therefore, the market response to North Korea's previous nuclear weapons tests or missile tests is often slight and short-lived.

The last time the situation on the Korean Peninsula had such a great impact on the global financial market, it can be traced back to the Cheonan incident and the shelling incident on Yeonpyeong Island. It can be seen that North Korean policymakers have great influence on the current international financial market.
