[경제읽기] '널뛰기 증시'에 개미들 혼란…코스피 전망은 / 연합뉴스TV (YonhapnewsTV)

[Guest: Economic Commentator Kwon Hyuk-joong] 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 Economic Commentator Kwon Hyuk-joong. [Question 1] As the KOSPI continues to experience extreme volatility, many investors are saying they feel "dizzy." Today, the index started lower but then reversed course and is currently trading around the 7,600 mark. However, experts say it is "difficult to pinpoint the cause of the sharp fluctuations," which is further increasing anxiety among retail investors. What strategy should investors adopt in times like this? [Question 1-1] Confusion is also growing among retail investors who have entered into a 2x leverage single-stock investment in 'Samsung Electronics.' While they gain double the profit when the stock price rises, their losses also double when it falls. In a volatile market, one could lose their entire investment at once; what strategy is necessary? [Question 2] As the U.S. continued its airstrikes on Iran for two consecutive days, the New York stock market fell across the board overnight. The decline widened as profit-taking selling pressure poured in on AI semiconductors and tech stocks. How long do you expect this volatile market to continue? [Question 3] Interest rates are also a factor shaking the stock market. 70% of U.S. economic experts predicted that the Federal Reserve would keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged this year. New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will preside over the FOMC meeting for the first time on the 16th and 17th. What actual decision do you expect to be announced? [Question 4] Now, let's look at news regarding Coupang. Today, the Personal Information Protection Commission imposed a fine of 624.6 billion won on Coupang for leaking the personal information of over 30 million users. This is the largest fine in history. What do you think is the reason for this? [Question 5] Let's also look at real estate news. At a press conference marking his first anniversary in office, President Lee stated that "Jeonse is a form of private finance unique to Korea" and predicted that the system would disappear. In fact, the proportion of monthly rent is increasing compared to Jeonse in the Seoul rental market. However, the Jeonse system could actually be beneficial to ordinary citizens. How do you forecast the real estate market for the second half of the year? ▣ Subscribe to 'Docu-Digging,' Yonhap News TV's specialized documentary channel    / @docu-digging   ▣ Subscribe to the Yonhap News TV YouTube channel    / @yonhapnewstv23   ▣ The beginning of Korean news, Yonhap News TV http://www.yonhapnewstv.co.kr/
