韩元兑美元汇率跌至1445韩元兑1美元,扭转了前一交易日的涨势,因为在美国总统特朗普宣布对美国进口商品征税的国家征收互惠关税后,投资者仍处于紧张状态。周四,特朗普指示他的经济团队调查不公平的贸易行为,并制定互惠关税计划,韩国是其主要目标之一,进一步向韩元施压,尽管关税不会立即实施。作为回应,韩国代理总统崔相茂表示,政府将审查非关税壁垒和脆弱性,以解决这些计划,旨在减轻潜在的经济影响。崔还强调,尽管《韩美自由贸易协定》规定的关税较低,但鉴于其在美国的重大投资,政府将密切关注局势并准备进行谈判。
The South Korean won weakened toward 1,445 per dollar, reversing gains from the previous session, as investors remained on edge following US President Trump’s announcement of reciprocal tariffs on countries taxing US imports. On Thursday, Trump instructed his economics team to investigate unfair trade practices and devise plans for reciprocal tariffs, with South Korea among its key targets, further pressuring the won, although the tariffs would not be implemented immediately. In response, South Korea's Acting President Choi Sang-mok stated the government would review non-tariff barriers and vulnerabilities to address the plans, aiming to mitigate potential economic impacts. Choi also emphasized that despite low tariffs under the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement, the government will closely monitor the situation and prepare to negotiate, given its significant US investments.
