South Korea is bracing for another possible hit to trade if President-elect Donald Trump follows through on his protectionism rhetoric once he takes office in January, while its financial markets - like other emerging economies - have been roiled by expectations of more U.S. interest rate hikes starting as soon as next week.
南韓正防備其貿易恐遭受另一次衝擊，倘若美國總統當選人川普明年1月一就任即落實其保護主義言論，與此同時，南韓金融市場就像其他新興經濟體，已因預期美國最快於下週調高利率而不安。

一份民間調查上週顯示，南韓11月製造業活動連續第4個月萎縮，外銷訂單亦減少。國營「韓國開發研究院」分析師鄭奎哲說：「由於政治的不確定性，我們正見到投資和決策普遍停擺。」
