[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] The National Investor Education Council will hold an online special lecture titled "Q2 Stock Market Outlook and Investment Strategies" starting at 8 PM on the 11th. The lecture will be moderated by Choi Gap-su, a research fellow at the Investor Education Council, with Lee Kyung-min, head of the investment strategy team at Daishin Securities, participating as a discussant.

To aid viewers' understanding and for convenience, the lecture will be divided into two parts and broadcast online. Part 1, "Inflation Issues Sucking the Global Economy into a Black Hole!" will address the situation where inflation has risen above 3% for five consecutive months, putting pressure on our economy.

Amid debates about a narrowing U.S. long- and short-term interest rate gap and related recession concerns, the lecture will examine what factors could lead to economic recovery and whether the burden of interest rate hikes is manageable. It will also focus on the outlook for Russia's default issue due to the Ukraine crisis and whether the market correction in April should be seen as an opportunity to increase portfolio weight.

Part 2, "Which Sectors Will Make Money Starting April?" will explore which sectors investors should pay attention to after Q2. Typically, value stocks perform strongly during interest rate hike phases, and the reasons for this will be analyzed.

Additionally, the lecture will discuss why investors should focus on the semiconductor, automobile, internet, and secondary battery sectors. Finally, it will consider the new government's policy directions, sectors likely to benefit, and investment opinions on stocks related to the with-COVID-19 era.

Viewers can watch the lecture on the Investor Education Council’s YouTube, Facebook, or Naver TV channels, choosing whichever is most convenient.
