South Korea's inflation slowed to 2.8% in July, a three-month low, driven partly by falling fuel costs. The Bank of Korea's July minutes indicated board members saw a need for further interest-rate hikes despite the cooling inflation, as growth threatened to keep inflation elevated and financial stability risks continued to build. Markets have not ruled out another rate hike in August.
