[Economy pick] "I want to leave the bureau".Seoul stocks sidelined alone

[Anchor]
"I want to leave the bureau"...South Korean stock markets left alone. The stock market was a bit stuffy today, too, right?

[Reporter]
That's right. The stock market opened at 10 p.m. today due to the college entrance exam, and the closing time was extended by an hour, closing at 4:30 p.m. a little while ago.

Today, the KOSPI rebounded for the first time in five days and closed at the 2,410 level. The KOSDAQ closed slightly lower at the 680 level.

Samsung Electronics, which has been suffering from a drop in stock prices these days, has been maintaining a close range of 50,000 won until the day.

However, it fell at the last minute and eventually fell to 40,000 electrons.


1.38% lower to close at 49,900 won.

I heard that foreigners keep selling it. Shares of Samsung Electronics.

[Reporter]
That's right. This 40,000 electron is the first time in four years and five months.

And on that day, Samsung Electronics' market capitalization collapsed by 300 trillion won.

As the Korean stock market continues to fall like this, there are investors who say that they will leave the bureau.

Why is our stock market so slow?

[Reporter]
I compared global stock market returns after Trump's election.

Major countries such as Japan, China, and the United States rose, but only Korea's KOSPI and KOSDAQ fell.

This is because the Korean stock market is most affected by President Trump's return to power.

President-elect Trump said this during the campaign.

Let's listen to it.

[Donald Trump / U.S. President-elect (last month, 28th): (Biden's) semiconductor deal is very bad. It's spent billions of dollars trying to get rich companies to come to the United States. They won't give us a good company anyway. All we have to do is put tariffs on it.]

The targets of tariff bombs are major industries such as secondary batteries and batteries, which account for a large proportion of U.S. exports.

Since these industries occupy a large part of our stock market, it is analyzed that the shock wave is relatively larger than other countries.

In addition, foreign investors' escape, dubbed the "big hand" of the domestic stock market, is also cited as a reason as the won's value declines due to rising exchange rates.

In addition, institutions and individuals supporting the domestic stock market and individual investors supporting the domestic stock market are also showing signs of leaving.

The rapid rise of the virtual asset market after President Trump's election is another blow to the domestic stock market.

Then, let's hear from an expert when our stock market will be able to open its shoulders.

During the first Trump administration, Korea's stock prices rose a lot, but during the second administration, they continue to be weak.

I think stock investors are really looking forward to when it will rebound. Thank you very much.
