[뉴스쏙:속]”2700 degrees are broken”… LG Ensol Dadasang also failed – No Cut News

1. Lunar New Year’s holiday Corona watershed… “I do not consider strengthening the distance”

As the omicron mutation spreads rapidly, the number of new cases today is expected to be around 15,000. It also appears to be an all-time high. On the 20th, the number of daily confirmed cases more than doubled from 6,000 on the 20th. In particular, this Lunar New Year holiday, when a large-scale population movement is expected, is expected to be a watershed in the spread of Omicron. However, the government is not going to make a decision to strengthen social distancing just because the number of confirmed cases increases. As social and economic costs occur, we plan to comprehensively review not only the number of confirmed cases, but also the number of severely severely ill patients and the medical system’s capacity. However, as the number of confirmed cases increases, the number of patients with severe symptoms is bound to increase as well.

2. People’s Power Bilateral Debate Proposal for Democracy ‘Two-Way, More Multilateral’

Television debates between presidential candidates who were expected to be seen before the Lunar New Year holiday have become difficult. In response to the court’s decision that bilateral TV debates were unreasonable, presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol insisted on a bilateral discussion with Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung in a form that was not supervised by a TV broadcaster. The Democratic Party criticized the people’s power, saying it was a trick to avoid multilateral discussions, and the People’s Party and Justice Party also pressured the people’s power, saying ‘what are you afraid of’ and ‘violation of the election law’. In the end, the Democratic Party once again counter-proposed on the 31st to hold a multilateral discussion on the same day as well as the individual bilateral discussion claimed by the People’s Power. As the People’s Power announced that it would not participate in the working-level negotiations for the presidential candidate’s four-party debate scheduled for today (28th), the four-party debate on the 31st, during the Lunar New Year holiday, seems to have been virtually canceled.

3. “2700 degrees are broken”… LG Ensol Dasang also failed

Yesterday, the KOSPI broke the 2700 line and fell to the low 2600 level. Bad news broke out in the United States before the opening. This is because US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell effectively formalized a rate hike in March at a press conference and, in addition, mentioned quantitative tightening immediately after the rate hike. Investors moved back to holding the dollar amid the observation that the massive money-making that had begun to overcome the corona crisis was over. In Korea, as foreigners collected dollars, the won-dollar exchange rate again exceeded 1,200 won per dollar, and in the stock market yesterday, foreigners net sold more than 1.7 trillion won.

In particular, when the starting price of LG Energy Solution, which was listed yesterday at an offering price of 300,000 won, nearly doubled to 597,000 won, foreigners threw 2.88 million shares, or nearly 1.5 trillion won. Most of the net selling by foreigners in the entire stock market yesterday was concentrated on one item of LG Ensol. Pension funds such as the National Pension Service took the defense, but failed to achieve the so-called ‘complacency’ amid the foreign sell-off. The KOSPI closed at 2614.49, down 3.5% from the previous day, amid the 8th largest foreign net selling since statistics were collected in 1998. The direction of stock prices today is expected to determine whether investor sentiment frozen by fears of austerity from the US can be calmed, but the three major indices in the New York Stock Exchange continued to decline early this morning, so the outlook for our stock market today does not look very bright.

4. ‘Almost All’ advanced to the World Cup for the 10th time in a row

The Korean men’s soccer team has crossed the ninth division ridge to advance to the World Cup 10 times in a row. Yesterday (27th, Korean time), the national team led by coach Paulo Bento won the 2022 Qatar World Cup Asian final qualifier Group A Group A against Lebanon in the 7th game away with Jo Kyu-seong’s opening goal in the 46th minute of the first half. Korea, with 17 points from 5 wins, 2 draws, maintained second place in the group after Iran (19 points). The gap with third-placed UAE (United Arab Emirates) is 8 points, so even if Korea wins one of the remaining three matches, they will qualify for the World Cup finals. If you win the 8th match against Syria on the 1st of next month, you will get a ticket to Qatar. Meanwhile, Iran won 1-0 over Iraq to secure their first place in Asia. Vietnam’s national team, led by coach Park Hang-seo, lost 0-4 to Australia and was frustrated from qualifying for the World Cup, while Japan defeated China 2-0 at home to maintain second place in Group B of the group stage.

5. Nationwide morning below freezing… Snow during the Lunar New Year holiday

It is a morning that requires warm clothes. The temperature on the way to work was lower than yesterday (27th), and a cold wave warning was issued in northern Gyeonggi Province and central inland areas such as Gangwon. On weekends and holidays, the temperature will be lower than today (28th). The bitter cold of around -10 degrees below zero will continue, mainly inland, until the beginning of the holiday season. Heavy snow is expected in central and Honam regions on Tuesday, the day of the Lunar New Year. The Korea Meteorological Administration has urged people to pay attention to traffic safety as there is a high possibility that the road will turn into an icy road.

With the spread of Omicron, we will enter the Lunar New Year holiday from tomorrow. It is only frustrating to be able to gather or not to gather. If you visit your parents, be sure to undergo a corona test before and after returning home. Don’t forget to wear a KF-80 or higher mask.
