基准韩国综合股价指数周五上涨0.2%，收于2623点，本周上涨1.9%，连续第五周上涨，因为低于预期的美国数据表明，美联储今年可能会两次降息，促使韩国出现类似的政策前景。投资者还评估了显示进口价格连续第三个月下降的数据，进一步强化了韩国央行放松的押注，同时等待正在进行的美韩关税谈判的进展。在企业新闻方面，芯片巨头SK海力士股价上涨2.1%，此前该公司报告称，由于对人工智能相关芯片的强劲需求，美国销售额占其第一季度收入的72%，高于去年同期的50%。投资者还注意到，SK海力士今年的HBM生产订单已满，这提振了该国主要出口行业芯片行业的乐观情绪。国防、造船和汽车类股领涨，如韩华航空航天（2.1%）、韩华海洋（0.8%）和起亚（0.9%）。

The benchmark KOSPI rose 0.2% to close at 2,623 points on Friday and advanced 1.9% for the week, marking its fifth straight weekly gain, as weaker-than-expected US data suggested the Federal Reserve may cut rates twice this year, prompting a similar policy outlook in South Korea. Investors also assessed data showing a third straight monthly drop in import prices, further reinforcing bets of easing by the Bank of Korea, while awaiting developments in ongoing US-Korea tariff talks. In corporate news, chip giant SK Hynix rallied 2.1% after reporting US sales accounted for 72% of its Q1 revenue, up from 50% a year earlier, fueled by strong demand for AI-related chips. Investors also noted SK Hynix’s fully booked HBM production for the year, fueling optimism in the chip sector, the country’s key export industry. Notable gains extended to defense, shipbuilding, and auto stocks, such as Hanwha Aerospace (2.1%), Hanwha Ocean (0.8%), and Kia Corp (0.9%).

韩国财政部表示，经济面临越来越大的“下行压力”。“经济正面临越来越大的下行压力，因为国内需求复苏仍然缓慢，就业市场困难持续存在，特别是在弱势行业。由于美国的关税政策，外部条件恶化，导致出口放缓。”

由于投资者等待正在进行的美韩关税谈判取得进展，韩元在连续两个交易日上涨后，保持了最近超过1395韩元兑1美元的涨幅。在济州岛举行的亚太经合组织贸易部长会议的第二天，韩国贸易部长Ahn Duk-geun将与美国贸易代表Jamieson Greer会面，在7月8日的最后期限之前推进拟议的关税一揽子协议。格里尔星期四还会见了贸易部长张仁耀，讨论悬而未决的贸易问题以及美国与其他国家的谈判。与此同时，进口价格连续第三个月下跌，提振了人们对韩国央行进一步放松货币政策的预期。这与韩国央行最近的会议记录一致，该会议记录显示，大多数董事会成员都表示经济逆风加剧，需要进一步降息。在其他地方，美国数据显示，美联储今年可能会降息两次，这促使韩国也有类似的政策前景。

The South Korean won held its recent gains past 1,395 per dollar, after rallying for two consecutive sessions, as investors await progress in ongoing US-Korea tariff talks. On the second day of the APEC trade ministers’ meeting in Jeju Island, South Korean Trade Minister Ahn Duk-geun was set to meet US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer to advance a proposed package deal on tariffs ahead of the July 8 deadline. Greer also met with Trade Minister Cheong In-kyo on Thursday to discuss pending trade issues and US negotiations with other countries. Meanwhile, a third consecutive monthly drop in import prices bolstered expectations of further monetary easing by the Bank of Korea. This aligned with the BOK’s recent minutes showing most board members flagged growing economic headwinds and the need for additional rate cuts. Elsewhere, US data suggest the Federal Reserve may cut rates twice this year, prompting a similar policy outlook in South Korea.
