● Tough Sledding, US Stocks
In-depth Analysis of the US Stock Market Correction, Impact of Trump’s Remarks, and Global Economic Outlook
[1] Causes of the US Stock Market Correction
Analyzing the reasons for the recent sharp decline in the US stock market.
US stock prices have gained upward momentum of over 50% in the past few years, but are now under pressure for price correction due to excessive valuation issues.
In particular, the Nasdaq has fallen by about 9-10% compared to the beginning of the year, suggesting the possibility of a transition to a bear market beyond a short-term correction.
Among investors, there is an analysis that it is more realistic to form a box range and gradually settle down rather than expect a rebound in stock prices.
[2] Duality of Trump’s Remarks and Policies
President Trump mentioned the possibility of market correction, emphasizing the transitional uncertainty to solve the fundamental problems of the US economy—fiscal deficit, debt, and trade deficit.
His remarks are interpreted not simply as expecting a stock market rebound, but as a signal of structural change to make the US economy more fundamentally ‘great’.
In other words, Trump is focusing on improving the long-term economic structure rather than short-term stock price recovery.
[3] Interest Rate Cuts, Inflation, and Trends in the Bond Market
Due to the expensive stock prices and fiscal deficit problems of the US economy, concerns about Treasury yields and inflation prospects are amplified.
The Fed is expected to pursue a prudent interest rate policy to achieve its 2% inflation target.
Despite the current downward trend in interest rates, there is a possibility that interest rates will rise again due to concerns about economic recession and consumption contraction.
In the bond market, it is analyzed that long-term economic lagging effects will be reflected rather than short-term reactions.
[4] Global Bond and National Policy Comparison
In addition to the US, major countries such as Germany and Japan are developing fiscal and monetary policies differently.
Germany is likely to increase the issuance of government bonds in accordance with its fiscal expansion policy, and Japan is showing room to raise interest rates due to the strong yen and inflationary pressure.
These differentiated policies by country will have various impacts on the global bond market, and economic growth and inflation prospects will appear differently.
[5] Domestic Demand Boosting and Future Consumption Transition Strategy
Due to the US trade deficit and fiscal problems, the need to shift from an economic structure that was highly dependent on exports to a domestic demand-boosting system has emerged.
In particular, export-led economies such as Korea are in a situation where they need to seek new countermeasures, such as a shift to domestic demand expansion and future consumption pull-in strategies, due to the limitations of fiscal and monetary policies.
Along with this, structural limitations such as national debt and aging issues are expected to act as key variables that will determine the success of the domestic demand boosting strategy.
[6] Investment Strategy and Future Outlook
The US stock market is likely to enter a phase of long-term restructuring rather than a short-term correction.
Investors should develop a strategy that comprehensively considers major economic variables such as US stocks, global economic outlook, bond investment, inflation, and interest rates.
In particular, it is necessary to build a stable investment portfolio by capturing long-term opportunities rather than short-term adjustments.
As global economic uncertainty continues, it is necessary to be sensitive to policy changes and economic indicators in each country.
< Summary >
The US stock market correction is occurring due to the dramatic overheating of upward momentum and inherent problems such as finance and debt.
Trump’s remarks mean a transitional response to improve the US economic structure rather than a short-term stock price rebound.
The Fed’s interest rate policy is expected to take a cautious approach, reflecting concerns about economic recession and consumption contraction in order to achieve the 2% inflation target.
In addition, the differentiation of fiscal and monetary policies in major global countries such as Germany and Japan is expected to have various impacts on the bond market and economic growth.
Domestic demand boosting and future consumption strategies will be important keys to overcoming the export-dependent economic structure, and investors should develop a long-term strategy focusing on keywords such as US stocks, global economic outlook, bond investment, inflation, and interest rates.

Comprehensive Analysis of Korean Self-Perception and Economic Behavior
This article delves into how Koreans’ unique self-perception—subjectivity, objectivity, and autonomy—affects their economic behavior, and how self-worth, self-esteem, and the emotion of ‘Han’ are connected to global economic trends, personal finance, and investment strategies.
By reading this article, you can gain a comprehensive understanding of Korean economic characteristics, wealth polarization, social conflicts, and future economic prospects and investment strategies.
1. Basic Types of Self-Perception: Subjectivity, Objectivity, and Autonomy
– Subjective Self: Believing that one is an entity capable of exerting influence.
→ In Korea, a strong sense of subjective consciousness, such as “I know who I am,” often appears.
– Objective Self: A tendency to be influenced by others and to underestimate oneself.
→ In the case of Japanese people, this is relatively evident in their compliant attitude without complaints.
– Autonomous Self: Prioritizing self-satisfaction without being bound by the gaze or influence of others.
→ This type shows an independent attitude of “I’ll take care of it myself.”
Each type is directly connected to an individual’s social and economic behavior, with subjectivity being prominent in Korean economic activities.
2. Self-Worth, Self-Esteem, and Unfounded Confidence
– Self-worth and self-esteem are connected not only to an individual’s objective achievements but also to their ideal self-image.
→ Many Koreans imagine their ideal selves rather than their current indicators and continuously strive to bridge the gap between reality and ideal.
– Unfounded confidence (groundless confidence) can sometimes be a driving force for challenge and growth, but it also acts as a risk factor that can lead to great shock upon failure.
Economically, this self-perception influences investment strategies and personal finance choices, leading to a desire for one’s own success.
In particular, in the Korean economy, cases where people think “I can go to a large company” or “I am more valuable” are soon revealed in consumption patterns and investments in luxury goods and real estate.
3. The Emotion of ‘Han’ – The Will to Overcome and the Driving Force of Economic Growth
– ‘Han’ is a feeling of injustice accumulated in Korean history and culture, but at the same time, it acts as a strong motivation to overcome it.
– This emotion of ‘Han’ has led to rapid economic achievement and the pursuit of wealth, influencing society as a whole from the developing era to the present.
– Even today, it acts as a factor of relative deprivation and social conflict, while at the same time being reflected in individuals’ constant spirit of challenge and investment strategies.
The attitude of overcoming ‘Han’ is an important factor explaining the resilience and innovation engine of the Korean economy in the global economy.
4. Economic Reality Created by Social Conflict and Wealth Polarization
– In Korean society, relative deprivation due to individuals’ high self-worth and competitiveness is continuously becoming a problem.
– Rising real estate prices, education expenses, and inequality of opportunity are exacerbating these conflicts.
– As a result, a dualistic aspect appears, with low social trust but high private trust between individuals.
This structure affects the reorganization of the Korean economy, investment strategies, and personal finance directions, and can act as a variable factor in future economic prospects.
5. Future Investment Strategies and Personal Finance Directions Tailored to the Global Economic Era
– Amid the uncertainty of the world economy, Korean economic behavior requires unique investment strategies.
– High self-subjectivity and the will to overcome have an impact on various fields such as individual personal finance, venture investment, and real estate investment.
– Global economy, Korean economy, investment strategy, economic outlook, and personal finance-related keywords are important factors explaining the current domestic and foreign economic flows.
– In the future, investment strategies based on social trust recovery and education and innovation are needed, which are also deeply related to individual self-perception management.
It is important to comprehensively understand these factors in economic situation analysis and future prospects.
Summary
Korean self-perception is divided into subjectivity, objectivity, and autonomy, and an individual’s self-worth and unfounded confidence have a great impact on economic behavior, personal finance, and investment strategies.
The emotion of ‘Han’ aroused the will to overcome and became the driving force for rapid economic growth, but wealth polarization and relative deprivation lead to social conflict.
These characteristics are connected to the global economy and act as important insights in setting future investment strategies and personal finance directions for the Korean economy.
