Time now for an in-depth look at the market news this afternoon.
And for that, I'm joined on the line by Dr. Yang Jun-sok, professor of economics at the Catholic University of Korea.
Dr. Yang, thank you for making time today.
Thank you.
With anticipation for this deal between China and the U.S., the rally on Wall Street continues, to the amazement of many. The world is watching the protests in Hong Kong too, though. What's the story in the global markets?
According to the Institute of International Finance, the world's total debt by the end of this year could top 255 trillion won, which would be an all-time high. Who's taking on all this debt, and what kind of risk does it pose to the world economy?
This week Statistics Korea will be releasing the results of a household survey that should shed some light on the income gap in the country. Also a survey of industrial activity. Tell us about that, and what we might expect to see.
Alright, Dr. Yang.
Thank you for coming on today.
A pleasure as always, we appreciate it.
