基准韩国综合股价指数周三下跌0.2%,约2560点,结束了三个交易日的连胜,但本月上涨3.2%,因为投资者在贸易发展中对新的经济数据和盈利报告做出了反应。周三,韩国财政部表示,在6月3日大选之前,不会急于与美国达成贸易协议,强调了正当程序和与政治时间表保持一致的必要性。与此同时,在半导体产量强劲的推动下,3月份工业生产激增,连续第二个月增长。然而,零售额下降,表明消费者支出疲软。在指数权重股中,芯片巨头三星电子在第一季度净利润增长21.7%后持平,超出预期,而其同行SK海力士则下跌0.7%。电池制造商LG Energy Solution股价下跌2.4%,尽管净利润增长6.8%。交易员们现在正在等待本周公布的其他关键数据,包括贸易平衡、采购经理人指数和通胀数据。
The benchmark KOSPI fell 0.2% around 2,560 points on Wednesday, ending its three-session winning streak but headed for a 3.2% gain for the month, as investors reacted to fresh economic data and earnings reports amid trade developments. On Wednesday, South Korea’s Finance Ministry said it isn’t rushing a trade deal with the US before its June 3 election, stressing due process and the need to align with its political timeline. Meanwhile, industrial production surged in March, marking a second straight month of growth, driven by strong semiconductor output. However, retail sales dipped, signaling weaker consumer spending. Among index heavyweights, chip giant Samsung Electronics was flat after a 21.7% rise in first quarter net profit, exceeding expectations, while its peer SK Hynix slipped 0.7%. Battery maker LG Energy Solution shed 2.4% despite a 6.8% rise in net profit. Traders now await for additional key data releases due this week, including trade balance, PMI, and inflation figures.
