2025年4月，韩国进口价格同比下降2.3%，扭转了3月份3.4%的涨幅，结束了连续五个月的上涨。下降的主要原因是全球油价下跌和韩元升值。原材料价格暴跌11.5%，较上月2.5%的跌幅有所加深。消费品（4%对6.1%）、中间产品（1%对6.1%，资本品（5.5%对6.8%）的价格增长也有所放缓。4月份进口价格环比下跌4.3%，此前3月份下跌3.4%，这是连续第三个月下跌，反映了全球油价的下跌。

South Korea's import prices fell 2.3% year-over-year in April 2025, reversing March's 3.4% gain and snapping a five-month streak of increases. The decline was mainly due to lower global oil prices and the appreciation of the Korean won. Raw material prices plunged 11.5%, deepening from a 2.5% drop the previous month. Price growth also slowed across consumer goods (4% vs. 6.1%), intermediate goods (1% vs. 6.1%), and capital goods (5.5% vs. 6.8%). On a monthly basis, import prices fell 4.3% in April, following a 3.4% decline in March, marking the third consecutive monthly drop, mirroring a drop in global oil prices.

2025年4月，韩国出口价格同比上涨0.7%，标志着连续第16个月增长，但与3月份6.3%的增长相比大幅放缓。制成品价格增长大幅放缓（0.6%对6.4%），而农产品、林业和海产品价格飙升9.2%，高于上月的7.7%。按月计算，出口价格下跌1.2%，这主要是由于韩元在3月份上涨0.4%后升值。经济放缓之际，韩国面临着越来越大的外部压力，包括特朗普总统新宣布的美国高达49%的关税，其中10%的一揽子关税已经到位。尽管全面实施推迟了90天，但人们对出口依赖型经济的影响越来越担忧。与此同时，在6月3日提前举行总统选举之前，政治不确定性正在加剧，此前尹锡悦总统在短暂宣布戒严令后被罢免。

South Korea's export prices rose 0.7% from a year earlier in April 2025, marking the 16th consecutive month of growth but slowing sharply from March's 6.3% increase. Growth in manufactured goods prices eased significantly (0.6% vs 6.4%), while agricultural, forestry, and marine product prices surged 9.2%, accelerating from 7.7% the month prior. On a monthly basis, export prices fell 1.2%, which was largely attributed to the appreciation of the Korean won, after a 0.4% gain in March. The slowdown comes as South Korea faces mounting external pressure, including newly announced US tariffs of up to 49% by President Trump, with a 10% blanket duty already in place. Although full implementation is delayed by 90 days, concerns are rising over the impact on the export-reliant economy. Meanwhile, political uncertainty is intensifying ahead of a June 3 snap presidential election following the ouster of President Yoon Suk Yeol after his brief declaration of martial law.

周四，基准韩国综合股价指数下跌0.7%，收于2621点，结束了连续三个交易日的上涨，因为投资者在关税担忧缓解的情况下锁定了利润。最初对美中贸易协议的乐观情绪推动的科技股领涨也失去了动力，人们的注意力转向了企业盈利和更广泛的经济增长前景。与此同时，韩国财政部副部长于5月5日会见了美国财政部一名高级官员，讨论了美元兑韩元市场，这表明在最近的货币波动中可能会进行协调。投资者现在正在等待事态发展，因为美国贸易代表格里尔在亚太经合组织会议期间会见了首尔贸易主管，以跟进上个月在华盛顿举行的会谈。领跌的是主要股指，如SK海力士（-2.7%）、LG能源解决方案（-2.1%）和现代汽车（-21%）。

The benchmark KOSPI fell 0.7% to close at 2,621 on Thursday, snapping a three-session winning streak, as investors locked in profits amid easing tariff concerns. The tech-led rally driven by initial optimism over the US-China trade deal also lost momentum, with attention shifting to the outlook for corporate earnings and broader economic growth. Meanwhile, South Korea’s Deputy Finance Minister met with a senior US Treasury official on May 5 to discuss the dollar-won market, signaling possible coordination amid recent currency volatility. Investors now await developments as US Trade Representative Greer meets Seoul’s trade chief during the APEC meeting to follow up on last month’s talks in Washington. Leading the losses were major stock indexes, such as SK Hynix (-2.7%), LG Energy Solutions (-2.1%), and Hyundai Motor (-2.1%).
