基准韩国综合股价指数周三下跌1.1%,至3410点左右,从前一交易日的历史高点回落,追随华尔街隔夜的下跌,因为投资者在美联储的政策决定之前变得谨慎。美联储开始为期两天的会议后,标准普尔500指数、纳斯达克指数和道琼斯指数在震荡中下跌,市场普遍预计将降息25个基点以应对劳动力市场的恶化。尽管如此,8月份美国零售销售强于预期,加剧了人们的担忧,即鲍威尔主席可能会采取更谨慎的语气,缓和全球风险偏好,并拖累亚洲股市。在国内,韩国综合股价指数的回落也归因于在连续创下历史新高后的获利回吐。重量级芯片制造商三星电子(-2%)和SK海力士(-3.5%)领跌,而韩华航空航天(-0.8%)和斗山能源(-3.2%)等其他大盘股也下跌,外国投资者在当地市场成为净卖家。
The benchmark KOSPI fell 1.1% to around 3,410 on Wednesday, retreating from record highs in the previous session, tracking overnight losses on Wall Street as investors turned cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy decision. The S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow slipped in choppy trade after the Fed began its two-day meeting, with markets largely expecting a 25 basis point cut to counter a deteriorating labor market. Still, stronger-than-expected US retail sales in August added to concerns that Chair Powell could strike a more measured tone, tempering global risk appetite and weighing on Asian equities. Domestically, the KOSPI’s retreat was also attributed to profit-taking after straight sessions of record highs. Losses in heavyweight chipmakers Samsung Electronics (-2%) and SK Hynix (-3.5%) led the decline, while other large caps such as Hanwha Aerospace (-0.8%) and Doosan Enerbility (-3.2%) also moved lower, with foreign investors turning net sellers in the local market.
