[경제읽기] 코스피, 7천선 회복…한국 증시 두고 엇갈린 시선 / 연합뉴스TV (YonhapnewsTV)

[Guest: Kim Dae-ho, Director of the Global Economic Research Institute] This is 'Reading the Economy,' a segment designed to help you understand current economic issues more easily. Today, we will discuss various economic issues with Kim Dae-ho, Director of the Global Economic Research Institute. [Question 1] Let's start with news from the stock market. The KOSPI, which successfully rebounded yesterday, is showing a sharp upward trend again today. Buoyed by the positive sentiment from the New York stock market overnight, it rose to the 7,100 mark during trading. However, opinions regarding our stock market are currently divided, with some saying it has "found bottom" and others claiming it is a "dead cat bounce." What is a dead cat bounce, and how do you forecast our market? [Question 1-1] Amidst this, global investment banks have released conflicting investment opinions regarding the Korean stock market. JPMorgan increased its weighting in the Korean stock market and maintained its target price of 12,500, while Citigroup downgraded its rating from overweight to neutral. What grounds did you cite for each point? [Question 2] Last week, financial authorities announced supplementary measures, such as raising the minimum deposit for single-stock leveraged ETFs, but the market reaction has been lukewarm. With President Lee Jae-myung ordering swift supplementation, the Financial Services Commission is also accelerating its efforts. What additional measures can we expect to see? [Question 3] Let's also talk about tariffs. With the '10% global tariff' imposed by the U.S. administration set to expire on the 24th, there are observations that the imposition of new tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act is imminent. For Korea, the biggest issue is whether the '15% tariff cap' reached through the Korea-U.S. trade agreement will be maintained. What is your outlook? [Question 4] The fire at the Coupang logistics center in Incheon was brought under control after 61 hours, but firefighting operations are still ongoing. The losses caused by the fire appear to be substantial. Is it true that the scale of damage, including automated equipment, inventory, and operating losses, amounts to hundreds of billions of won? ▣ Subscribe to Yonhap News TV's documentary channel 'Docu-Digging'    / @docu-digging   ▣ Subscribe to Yonhap News TV YouTube Channel    / @yonhapnewstv23   ▣ The Beginning of Korean News, Yonhap News TV / Yonhap News TV http://www.yonhapnewstv.co.kr/
