Krystal Hur is a markets reporter for CNN Business. She covers global financial markets with a focus on US equities, commodities, investor trends and the forces that move and shape them. Hur also writes about an array of other business topics, and has written stories covering the collapses of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, a copyright infringement case involving Ed Sheeran and Ed Townsend, and a deep dive into how the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes could have a disproportionate effect on people of color in the labor market.

Prior to joining CNN, Hur was at CNBC and wrote service stories for the Investing Club with Jim Cramer. She also covered exclusive CEO interviews, stock pickers and markets, and economy analyses based on “Mad Money with Jim Cramer.” She has previously reported for Automotive News, NBC News, OpenSecrets, and the Wall Street Journal, where her magnum opus was a story about toddlers who developed strange pandemic hobbies.
