This is because the domestic stock market has been swayed because the world stock markets, including the United States, have fallen significantly. In this anxiety, gold, which is often sought as a safe asset, also fell to gold as people sold it.

The situation in the global financial market continues to be compiled by reporter Kim Beom-joo.

The U.S. New York stock market had its worst day in 33 years. Even circuit breakers were triggered, but the Dow did not prevent the 9.99% from falling.

From Monday to Monday, 18% of the index fell in four days.

The situation is the same in Europe.

France, Germany and the UK all fell more than 10%, especially Italy, which suffered the most from Corona 19, the index fell 16.9%.

In Asia, Tokyo's index fell 6% and Shanghai's 1.2% respectively.

A little while ago, the European stock market opened again and aimed for a rebound, but it was too early to be relieved.

This is because the spread of corona 19 in the United States and Europe is spreading, and there is strong anxiety about how much the economy will suffer.

The aftermath of the U.S. government's ban on entry into Europe has raised concerns that not only people, but eventually trade and economic activity around the world will be in recession.

International prices fell more than 3% and international oil prices fell to nearly $ 30 a barrel as anxious investors sold gold, a safe asset, in order to accumulate cash.

While US and European financial authorities are releasing emergency funds and considering further measures, market instability is likely to continue for some time, as long as there are concerns about the recession.
