Global financial markets are grappling with volatility as major currencies fluctuate following a week of political upheavals. In France, the government collapse has intensified scrutiny, while South Korea's brief imposition of martial law set the U.S. dollar soaring against the won.

Despite logistical assurances, South Korean markets remain edgy amid promises of 'unlimited liquidity' to offset instability. Meanwhile, investors turn their gaze to the U.S., where the upcoming non-farm payrolls report adds to the economic uncertainty amid speculations of Federal Reserve rate adjustments.
