韩国综合股价指数周五上涨6点，涨幅0.2%，收于3196点，扭转了早盘的跌势，第三个交易日收盘走高。在标准普尔500指数和纳斯达克指数创下历史新高后，美国期货价格小幅上涨，市场情绪有所改善，因为对潜在的美国-欧盟贸易协议的希望越来越大。与此同时，韩国工业部长金正宽周四会见了美国商务部长卢特尼克，重申了在8月1日截止日期前敲定关税协议的努力。外国投资者是净买家，购买了价值1416亿韩元的股票。本周，该指数上涨0.3%，将连胜纪录延长至三周。商业服务、科技和公用事业领涨，现代重工（5.8%）、HD韩国造船（4.9%）、Naver（3.3%）和新韩金融（2.7%）涨幅显著。不利的一面是，LG Energy Solution下跌1.2%，此前该公司警告称，尽管季度利润大幅增长，但由于美国关税和政策的不确定性，需求将进一步放缓。

The KOSPI Index rose 6 points or 0.2% to close at 3,196 on Friday, reversing early losses and closing higher for the third session. Sentiment improved amid a modest uptick in U.S. futures, after record highs for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, as hopes grew for a potential U.S.-EU trade deal. Meanwhile, South Korea’s Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan met with U.S. Commerce Secretary Lutnick Thursday, reaffirming efforts to finalize a tariff deal by the August 1 deadline. Foreign investors were net buyers, purchasing KRW 141.6 billion worth of shares. For the week, the index added 0.3%, extending its winning streak to three weeks. Gains were led by commercial services, tech, and utilities, with notable rises in Hyundai Heavy Industries (5.8%), HD Korea Shipbuilding (4.9%), Naver (3.3%), and Shinhan Financial (2.7%). On the downside, LG Energy Solution slipped 1.2% after warning of a further demand slowdown due to U.S. tariffs and policy uncertainty, despite a sharp jump in quarterly profit.

韩国贸易官员在华盛顿会见了美国同行，承诺在8月1日的最后期限前敲定贸易协议。据韩国工业部称，工业部长金正宽周四会见了美国商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克，讨论了贸易和制造业关系。由于日程安排冲突，与财政部长斯科特·贝森特的单独会晤被取消，尽管双方都计划重新安排。金表示：“我们将尽一切努力确保我们的（韩国）公司与竞争对手相比不会处于不利地位。”他补充说，我们的目标是在8月1日前获得最佳结果。与此同时，贸易部长Yeo Han-koo与阿拉巴马州州长Kay Ivey进行了视频通话，讨论了韩国在该州的投资，该州拥有现代汽车等公司的设施。今年3月，现代汽车宣布计划在未来四年内在美国投资约210亿美元。

South Korean trade officials met with U.S. counterparts in Washington, pledging to finalize a trade deal by the August 1 deadline. According to South Korea's industry ministry, Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan met with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Thursday to discuss trade and manufacturing ties. A separate meeting with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was canceled due to a scheduling conflict, though both sides plan to reschedule. “We will make every effort to ensure our [South Korean] companies aren't put at a disadvantage compared with our competitors,” Kim stated, adding the goal is to secure the best possible outcome by August 1. Meanwhile, Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo held a video call with Alabama Governor Kay Ivey to discuss Korean investments in the state, which hosts facilities by firms like Hyundai Motor. In March, Hyundai announced plans to invest around USD 21 billion in the U.S. over the next four years.

周五，韩元兑美元汇率跌至1376韩元左右，结束了五个交易日的上涨，因为日本最近与美国工业部长金正宽和贸易部长杨汉求达成贸易协议后，首尔面临的压力越来越大，一位官员将正在进行的谈判描述为进入“关键的最后阶段”。在数据方面，韩国7月前20天的出口同比下降2.2%，主要是由于关税的不确定性导致美国和中国的需求减弱。进口下降4.3%，扭转了6月份3.3%的增长。与此同时，6月份生产者价格指数上涨0.5%，高于5月份0.3%的三年低点。在失业救济申请人数连续第六周下降后，美元指数徘徊在97.6左右，延续了最近的涨幅，这增加了韩元的压力。特朗普总统周四在下周的政策会议之前访问了美联储，预计美联储将在对与贸易风险相关的通货膨胀的担忧中保持利率不变。

The South Korean won weakened to around 1,376 per dollar on Friday, snapping a five-session rise, as pressure mounted on Seoul following Japan's recent trade deal with the U.S. Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan and Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo have been in Washington, with one official describing the ongoing negotiations as entering a “critical final phase.” On the data front, South Korea’s exports fell 2.2% yoy in the first 20 days of July, mainly due to weaker demand from the U.S. and China amid tariff uncertainties. Imports shrank 4.3%, reversing a 3.3% growth in June. Meanwhile, producer prices rose 0.5% in June, up from May’s three-year low of 0.3%. Adding to pressure on the won, the U.S. dollar index hovered around 97.6, extending its recent gains, after jobless claims fell for the sixth straight week. President Trump visited the Fed on Thursday, ahead of next week’s policy meeting, where the central bank is expected to hold rates amid concerns over inflation tied to trade risks.

韩国综合股价指数在周五上午的波动中小幅下跌，在连续两天上涨后徘徊在3187点左右，因为美韩贸易谈判的不确定性扰乱了市场情绪。原定于本周进行的谈判因美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特的日程安排冲突而推迟。在华尔街，尽管标准普尔500指数和纳斯达克指数创下历史新高，但由于美欧贸易协议取得进展的迹象，股市隔夜收盘涨跌互现。其中明显落后的是LG能源（-1.8%）、Celltrion（-1.6%）、三星生物制品（-0.9%）和韩国电力（-0.5%）。本周，韩国综合股价指数在前两个时期上涨后，有望基本持平，投资者正在等待斯德哥尔摩举行的第三轮美中贸易谈判，旨在延长将于8月12日到期的关税休战。同样受到关注的是下周的美联储政策会议，特朗普总统在周四访问美联储后再次施加降息压力。

The KOSPI Index edged lower in a volatile session on Friday morning, hovering around 3,187 after two days of gains, as sentiment was rattled by uncertainty over U.S.-South Korea trade talks. Negotiations scheduled for this week were postponed due to a scheduling conflict involving U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. On Wall Street, stocks ended mixed overnight, despite record closes for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, buoyed by signs of progress toward a U.S.-EU trade deal. Among notable laggards were LG Energy (-1.8%), Celltrion (-1.6%), Samsung Biologics (-0.9%), and Korea Electric Power (-0.5%). For the week, the KOSPI is on track to end largely flat after rising in the prior two periods, with investors awaiting a third round of U.S.-China trade talks in Stockholm, aimed at extending a tariff truce set to expire on August 12. Also in focus is next week’s U.S. Fed policy meeting, amid renewed pressure from President Trump to cut rates following his visit to the central bank on Thursday.
