North Korea‘s peace offensive in January and the breakdown of talks in May offer a perfect example of how waves of social mood influence international politics. Kim Jong-un offered his olive branch to South Korea on January 1 this year after a strong two-year rally in global stock markets, which are excellent measures of social mood. But now that global stocks have corrected for four months, Kim and Trump have gotten cold feet.
“North Korea’s foreign relations have swung from cooperative to combative in synch with stocks for decades, and we expect that pattern to continue,” says Mark Galasiewski, chief Asia analyst at financial forecasting firm Elliott Wave International.
