基准韩国综合股价指数周五下跌0.3%,至2514点左右,结束了连续五个交易日的上涨,受电池和钢铁制造商大幅下跌的拖累。投资者也为美国就业报告做好了准备,该报告可能会影响美联储今年的货币政策前景。与此同时,交易员评估了美联储的最新会议纪要,表明由于持续的通货膨胀和对特朗普政策的担忧,他们准备放缓政策放松。在国内,韩国政府和执政的人民力量党计划采取积极措施,加强与美国的贸易关系,并应对特朗普政策的影响。LG能源解决方案(-2.2%)、三星SDI(-2.3%)、浦项制铁控股(-0.8%)和韩国锌业(-5%)均出现显著亏损。尽管遭遇挫折,该基准指数仍有望每周上涨约3%,为去年11月中旬以来的最大涨幅。
The benchmark KOSPI fell 0.3% to around 2,514 points on Friday, snapping a five consecutive session of gains, dragged down by sharp losses from battery and steel makers. Investors also braced ahead of the US jobs report, which could shape the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy outlook for the year. Meanwhile, traders assessed the latest Fed minutes, signaling a readiness to slow policy easing due to persistent inflation and concerns over Trump’s policies. Domestically, South Korea’s government and ruling People Power Party plan proactive measures to strengthen US trade ties and address impacts of Trump’s policies. Notable losses were seen from LG Energy Solutions (-2.2%), Samsung SDI (-2.3%), Posco Holdings (-0.8%), and Korea Zinc (-5%). Despite the setbacks, the benchmark index is on track for a weekly gain of about 3%, its biggest since mid-November last year.
