Korea stock outlook: KOSPI eyes U.S. inflation, Micron earnings after holiday

South Korean stocks are expected to seek direction this week as markets digest external factors that built up over the Chuseok holiday. While worries over trade frictions eased somewhat after a U.S.-China summit, investors are watching U.S. inflation data, Micron Technology earnings, oil prices and long-term interest rates. The KOSPI ended the last session before the break up 0.90 percent at 7,080.92, holding above 7,000.
