周四,基准KOSPI指数上涨0.8%,至2752点左右,创下近七周来的最高水平,投资者从当地度假归来,在美国通胀放缓的迹象的推动下,追踪华尔街隔夜的历史性飙升。4月份,美国整体通胀率和核心年通胀率均有所回落,引发了人们对价格压力缓解的乐观情绪,而零售销售仍停滞不前,超出了市场对增长的预期。最新的经济数据提高了人们对美联储今年将至少两次降息的预期。在各板块中,金融板块涨幅最大,KB Financial(3.6%)、Hana Financial(3.9%)和Samsung Life(2.2%)涨幅显著。其他指数权重股也上涨,包括SK海力士(4.2%)、Celltrion(1.2%)、Naver(1.9%)和现代摩比斯(1.3%)。
The benchmark KOSPI advanced 0.8% to around 2,752 points on Thursday, trading at its highest level in nearly seven weeks as investors returned from a local holiday to track an all-time surge on Wall Street overnight, driven by indications of decelerating US inflation. The US headline and core annual inflation rates both eased in April, sparking optimism for price pressure relief, while retail sales remained stagnant, defying market expectations of growth. The latest economic figures raised expectations that the Federal Reserve will deliver at least two rate cuts this year. Among sectors, financials posted the biggest increase, with notable gains from KB Financial (3.6%), Hana Financial (3.9%), and Samsung Life (2.2%). Other index heavyweights also advanced, including SK Hynix (4.2%), Celltrion (1.2%), Naver (1.9%), and Hyundai Mobis (1.3%).
