The gain-dollar exchange rate started a little lower today, but the stock market has not calmed down.
The global financial market shock is barely subsiding as US-led austerity measures, Europe’s energy crisis, and UK crisis theory are added.

The exchange rate started today at 1,428 won, down 3.3 won.
As soon as the market opened the day before, it soared and broke through 1,430 gained at 11 am, but fell slightly due to fatigue from the surge.
The stock market, which fell sharply yesterday, remains volatile.
The KOSPI fell to 2209 at one point during the day, breaking a new low for the second day.
It is understood that the global stock market fluctuates overnight and continues to affect our stock market.
The British pound depreciated by about 5% against the US dollar, falling to a record low of $1.03 and eventually falling to the $1.06 level.
As a result, the New York Stock Exchange also closed lower.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.1%, the large-cap S&P 500 fell 1.02%, and the tech-focused Nasdaq fell 0.6%.
The government has proposed a number of measures to loosen the dollar in the market to calm the exchange rate, but it is unlikely to have a major impact amid the great strength of the dollar.
The dollar index, which measures the value of the dollar against six major currencies, climbed to 114.6, a new high in 20 years.
