Gwangju Employers Federation to Hold "Trump and the Age of Chaos" Friday Breakfast Forum on May 9

The Gwangju Employers Federation announced on May 7 that it will host a special lecture for the 1,684th Friday Breakfast Forum on May 9, inviting analyst Seo Sangyoung to speak on the topic "Trump and the Age of Chaos."

This special lecture is expected to focus on the ongoing issues of tariff policies under the potential second Trump administration. Seo, currently a managing director at Mirae Asset Securities WM Innovation Headquarters, is recognized as a top analyst in market trends by media outlets such as Korea Economic Daily. He is an expert who has received external awards from the Bank of Korea, was recognized for his contributions to the Korea Exchange derivatives market, and has appeared on various media broadcasts including Maeil Business TV.

The forum will cover several topics: ▲ "Trump and the Trade War," which will address the influence and authority of trade officials in a potential Trump second term, the increasingly extreme nature of Trump's campaign pledges, the impact of trade disputes on Korea, the imposition of tariffs on China, and China's capacity to respond; followed by ▲ the economy and exchange rates ▲ the AI industry and the stock market ▲ the bond and commodity markets, in that order.

Yang Jinseok, chairman of the Gwangju Employers Federation, stated, "Seo is a star market analyst, admired even by his peers at other securities firms," adding, "Given the persistent uncertainty caused by Trump's tariff and economic policies, as well as instability in the Middle East, he will present a variety of strategies for responding to tariffs and other challenges to our member companies and attendees."
