2025-04-09

Professor Terence Lim of SKK GSB at Sungkyunkwan University contributed a column to Korea Economic Daily, saying that global markets swung wildly amid Trump's flip-flops. "Everyone is unsure about what is to come, and as a result, stock prices and interest rates have fallen sharply. The fact that Trump could increase uncertainty throughout his presidency is a significant risk to the global economy," he noted. Professor Lim advised investors, "In times of heightened uncertainty, investors need to rotate out of tech stocks or growth stocks and into income-generating assets."
