LONDON/SINGAPORE—Global shares were mixed on Wednesday as markets digested political turmoil in South Korea, where martial law was imposed and then lifted hours later, and France, where an upcoming no-confidence vote also put the euro in the spotlight.
In South Korea, Asia’s fourth-largest economy, lawmakers called on President Yoon Suk Yeol to resign or face impeachment after he declared martial law late on Tuesday only to reverse the move hours later.
