周四，基准韩国综合股价指数微跌0.1%，至2638点左右，扭转了前一交易日1.2%的强劲涨幅，因为投资者试图在关税担忧缓解的情况下锁定近期利润。对美中贸易协议的初步乐观情绪也开始消退，分析师指出，该协议对企业盈利和经济增长的整体前景影响有限。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。与此同时，政治不确定性继续影响人们的情绪，因为总统候选人用诽谤性攻击代替了实质性政策。在整个指数中，造船厂、汽车制造商和生物制药股领跌，如现代重工（-2.4%）、现代汽车（-1.2%）和三星生物制品（-0.7%）。上涨最多的是三星电子（1.4%）、LG能源解决方案（1.3%）和韩华航空航天（2%）。
The benchmark KOSPI edged down 0.1% to around 2,638 points on Thursday, reversing a strong 1.2% gain from the previous session, as investors attempted to lock in recent profits amid easing tariff concerns. Initial optimism over the US-China trade deal also began to fade, with analysts noting its limited impact on the broader outlook for corporate earnings and economic growth. 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. Meanwhile, political uncertainty continued to weigh on sentiment as presidential candidates traded slanderous attacks in place of substantive policies. Across the index, shipbuilders, automakers, and biopharmaceutical stocks led the losses, such as Hyundai Heavy Industries (-2.4%), Hyundai Motor (-1.2%), and Samsung Biologics (-0.7%). On the upside, top gainers were Samsung Electronics (1.4%), LG Energy Solutions (1.3%), and Hanwha Aerospace (2%).
