SEOUL, July 8 : South Korea's finance minister agreed on Wednesday with other economic policymakers to closely monitor risk factors that could heighten stock market volatility, the ministry said.

Stock market volatility has increased recently on foreign and institutional selling for profit-taking and rebalancing, as well as changes in the global AI industry outlook, the ministry said in a statement.
