基准韩国综合股价指数周二上涨0.2%，收于2618点，扭转了早些时候的下跌，标志着连续第三个交易日上涨，因为指数权重股三星电子的上涨抵消了电池和汽车股的大幅下跌。这家芯片巨头飙升2.6%，在周四公布第三季度财报之前，外国投资者纷纷买入，延续了其涨势。与此同时，电池和汽车制造商面临压力，LG能源解决方案（-1.8%）、三星SDI（-1.3%）、现代汽车（-1.1%）和起亚（-1.9%）均出现大幅亏损。经济新闻方面，韩国央行行长李昌镛预计2024年经济增长率在2.2%至2.3%之间，略低于2.4%的预测。

The benchmark KOSPI rose 0.2% to close at 2,618 points on Tuesday, reversing earlier losses and marking its third consecutive session of gains, as an uplift from index heavyweight Samsung Electronics offset sharp losses in battery and auto stocks. The chip giant soared 2.6%, extending its gains as foreign investors bought in ahead of its Q3 earnings results due on Thursday. Meanwhile, battery and automakers faced pressure, with LG Energy Solutions (-1.8%), Samsung SDI (-1.3%), Hyundai Motors (-1.1%), and Kia Corp (-1.9%) posting sharp losses. In economic news, BOK Governor Rhee Chang-yong projected 2024 economic growth between 2.2% and 2.3%, slightly below the 2.4% forecast.

韩元兑美元贬值超过1380韩元，回吐了前一交易日的一些涨幅，仍接近三个月低点。在国内，韩元仍面临压力，因为早些时候的数据显示，韩国经济在第三季度几乎没有增长，这加剧了人们对韩国央行可能进一步降息的猜测。然而，在韩国央行行长李昌镛表示韩国有足够的外汇储备在必要时稳定美元韩元市场后，市场情绪的改善限制了跌幅。从外部来看，韩元因美元小幅下跌而获得支撑，避险需求减少，投资者在本周一系列美国经济数据公布前变得谨慎。

The South Korean won depreciated past 1,380 per dollar, giving back some gains from the previous session and remaining close to three-month lows. Domestically, the won remains under pressure due to earlier data showing that South Korea's economy barely grew in the third quarter, fueling speculation that the Bank of Korea may initiate further rate cuts. However, the decline was limited by improved sentiment after Bank of Korea Governor Rhee Chang-yong stated that South Korea has sufficient foreign exchange reserves to stabilize the dollar-won market if necessary. Externally, the won garnered support from a slight dip in the US dollar, amid reduced safe-haven demand and as investors grew cautious ahead of a series of US economic data releases this week.

基准韩国综合股价指数周二下跌0.3%，至2605点左右，结束了连续两天的上涨，电池股反映了美国电动汽车制造商特斯拉的隔夜下跌。电池和电池相关股票大幅下跌，包括LG能源解决方案（-3.4%）、三星SDI（-2.7%）、LG化学（-7.5%）、浦项制铁Future M（-3.3%）和Ecopro BM（-0.9%）。此外，汽车制造商面临压力，现代汽车（-1.8%）和起亚（-2.2%）均出现大幅亏损。然而，芯片巨头三星电子股价飙升1.6%，有助于限制整体跌幅。在企业新闻方面，Celltrion宣布第四次回购53.8万股，将回购总额提高到3300多亿韩元，以提高股东价值。投资者现在正在等待周五公布的10月份贸易平衡数据，预测显示出口增长放缓。

The benchmark KOSPI shed 0.3% to around 2,605 points on Tuesday, ending a two-day winning streak as battery stocks mirrored the overnight losses of US electric vehicle maker Tesla. Battery and battery-related stocks experienced broad declines, including LG Energy Solution (-3.4%), Samsung SDI (-2.7%), LG Chem (-7.5%), Posco Future M (-3.3%), and Ecopro BM (-0.9%). Additionally, automakers faced pressure, with Hyundai Motors (-1.8%) and Kia Corp (-2.2%) posting significant losses. However, chip giant Samsung Electronics surged 1.6%, helping to limit the overall declines. In corporate news, Celltrion announced its fourth buyback of 538 thousand shares, boosting total buybacks to over 330 billion won to enhance shareholder value. Investors are now awaiting October figures for trade balance on Friday, with forecasts indicating slower export growth.

韩元兑美元汇率约为1385韩元，接近四个月来的最低水平，因为美元保持强势，这是由于美国经济数据稳健后国债收益率反弹，以及特朗普11月获胜的可能性上升。特朗普的关税、税收和移民政策被视为通货膨胀，限制了美联储进一步降息的空间。在国内，初步估计显示，韩国最近的GDP数据低于预期，支持了韩国央行可能进一步降息的押注。第三季度国内生产总值仅增长0.1%，远低于0.4%的预测，而第二季度的收缩率为0.2%，而年增长率放缓至1.5%，低于预期的2%。在货币方面，韩国央行将基准利率降至3.25%，加入了全球宽松周期。然而，州长李昌镛将此举描述为“鹰派削减”，表明由于对房地产价格和家庭债务上升的担忧，对进一步削减持谨慎态度。

The South Korean won traded around 1,385 per dollar, holding close to its lowest level in four months as the dollar remained strong, due to a rally in Treasury yields following solid US economic data and rising odds of a Trump victory in November. Trump's policies on tariffs, taxes, and immigration are viewed as inflationary, limiting the Federal Reserve's room for further rate cuts. Domestically, preliminary estimates showed that South Korea’s recent GDP figures missed forecasts, supporting bets that the Bank of Korea may initiate further rate cuts. The GDP grew just 0.1% in Q3, widely missing the 0.4% forecast, from a 0.2% contraction in Q2, while annual growth slowed to 1.5%, below the expected 2%. On the monetary front, the Bank of Korea cuts its base rate to 3.25%, joining the global easing cycle. However, Governor Rhee Chang-yong described the move as a "hawkish cut," signaling caution around further reductions due to concerns about property prices and rising household debt.
