The East Asian selloff is not the story, the credit underneath it is
The 24 June Tokyo–Seoul drawdown and the 23 June Nikkei Asia syndicated-loan note are not two stories. They are two outputs of the same balance-sheet decision by a regional bank complex now unwinding a position it holds on both legs.

Desk note: Monexus reads the 24 June Tokyo–Seoul drawdown and the 23 June Nikkei Asia syndicated-loan dispatch as two outputs of the same balance-sheet decision, not as a sentiment event and a financing story reported separately. The wire will split them. The data does not.
