Why is the won price and stock price faltering like this?

[Reporter]
The aftermath of former U.S. President Trump's successful return to power is analyzed to have hit the financial market.

The dollar continues to strengthen as trade disputes and inflation concerns grow, citing national priority.

In particular, if the U.S.-China conflict intensifies, we will inevitably suffer from exports.

Experts believe that such anxiety is fueling the won's price and stock price to fall.

As a result, some predict that the Trump administration will try to rebound only when uncertainty is resolved to some extent after the official inauguration of the Trump administration in January next year.
