周五,韩元兑美元汇率跌至1400左右,在美国贸易行动和国内税收改革担忧的压力下徘徊在11周低点以上。在特朗普总统重申10%的全球基准关税和高达41%的非贸易伙伴关税后,美元保持坚挺,加剧了贸易紧张局势,并促使避险资金流入美元。在国内,市场情绪受到政府计划取消最近减税政策的影响,这引发了人们对其市场改革承诺和解决韩国折扣问题的怀疑。与此同时,7月份的制造业采购经理人指数从6月份的48.7降至48.0,标志着连续第六个月出现收缩,并预示着随着产出和新订单的下降,经营状况将进一步恶化。企业还表示,美国关税风险带来的不确定性日益增加。尽管出口在半导体需求强劲的带动下增长了5.9%,强于预期,但对更广泛的工业复苏的担忧使其黯然失色。
The South Korean won weakened to around 1,400 per dollar on Friday, hovering at over eleven-week lows amid pressure from US trade actions and domestic tax reform concerns. The dollar held firm after President Trump reaffirmed a 10% baseline global tariff and up to 41% on non-trade partners, heightening trade tensions and prompting safe-haven flows into the greenback. Domestically, sentiment was weighed by the government’s plan to roll back recent tax cuts, raising doubts over its commitment to market reforms and efforts to address the Korea Discount. Meanwhile, July’s manufacturing PMI fell to 48.0 from 48.7 in June, marking a sixth straight month of contraction and signaling sharper deterioration in operating conditions as output and new orders declined. Firms also cited growing uncertainty from the US tariff risks. While exports rose a stronger-than-expected 5.9%, led by robust semiconductor demand, it was overshadowed by concerns over the broader industrial recovery.
