基准韩国综合股价指数周二下跌1.3%,收于2457点,延续了前一交易日的跌幅,因为投资者在央行关键事件之前保持谨慎。在美国,人们普遍预计美联储周三将降息25个基点,但由于特朗普政府对通胀的担忧,可能预示着2025年的降息幅度会减少。在国内,韩国央行将公布其最近一次会议的纪要,该行在会上发布了自2009年以来的首次连续降息。与此同时,随着韩国宪法法院对尹总统因试图实施戒严令而被弹劾一事进行审查,民众情绪依然低迷。几乎所有行业都下跌了,其中电池股领跌,此前有报道称特朗普计划削减电动汽车支持并对电池进口征收关税,LG Energy Solution(-4.2%)和三星SDI(-6.3%)领跌。其他电池相关股票也出现大幅下跌,包括LG化学(-4.9%)、浦项制铁Future M(-8.2%)和EcoPro BM(-7.4%)。
The benchmark KOSPI shed 1.3% to close at 2,457 points on Tuesday, extending losses from the previous session, as investors remained cautious ahead of key central bank events. In the US, the Federal Reserve is widely expected to cut rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday, but may signal fewer reductions for 2025 amid inflation concerns under the Trump administration. At home, the Bank of Korea will release minutes from its latest meeting, where it issued its first back-to-back rate cuts since 2009. Meanwhile, sentiment remained subdued as South Korea's Constitutional Court reviewed President Yoon ’s impeachment over his martial law attempt. Nearly all sectors lost ground, led by battery stocks following reports of Trump’s plan to cut EV support and impose tariffs on battery imports, with LG Energy Solution (-4.2%) and Samsung SDI (-6.3%) leading the losses. Other battery-related stocks also saw steep losses, including LG Chem (-4.9%), Posco Future M (-8.2%), and EcoPro BM (-7.4%).
