韩元兑美元汇率升至1470,但仍接近两个月低点,因为强劲的出口和连续第二个月的贸易顺差提振了对出口驱动型货币的信心。3月数据显示,贸易顺差为49.9亿美元,连续第二个月出现顺差,而出口同比增长3.1%,达到583亿美元的三个月高点,尽管贸易仍存在不确定性,但所有IT行业都出现了八个月来的首次增长。工业部长表示,政府将利用“所有可用资源”来缓解贸易担忧,包括与美国正在进行的谈判和对当地产业的迅速支持措施。此外,随着宪法法院宣布将于周五对尹总统的弹劾案作出裁决,政治不确定性有所缓解。在其他地方,投资者对特朗普互惠关税的范围仍持担忧态度。
The South Korean won strengthened toward 1,470 per dollar, though still near two-month lows, as strong exports and a trade surplus for the second straight month lifted sentiment for the export-driven currency. March data showed a trade surplus of $4.99 billion, marking the second straight month of surplus, while exports rose 3.1% year-on-year to a three-month high of $58.3 billion, with all IT sectors posting growth for the first time in eight months, despite ongoing trade uncertainties. The Industry Minister stated the government would use "all available resources" to ease trade concerns, including ongoing talks with the US and swift support measures for local industries. Additionally, political uncertainty eased as the Constitutional Court announced it will deliver its ruling on President Yoon's impeachment on Friday. Elsewhere, investor concerns linger over the scope of Trump’s reciprocal tariffs.
