"Expectations for a much better stock market situation in the second half of the year compared to now."

Park Jin-ho / SBS Editorial Writer

"While there are side effects of heavy reliance on semiconductors, it has distinct advantages."
"Psychological burden regarding market volatility remains prevalent in the stock market."
