周二，韩元兑美元汇率跌至1390美元左右，从早些时候的涨幅回落，因为在与欧盟达成有利贸易协议后，美元走强。虽然几个主要经济体已经与华盛顿达成协议，但首尔正在紧急努力保持积极参与谈判，旨在放宽即将对韩国出口征收的25%互惠关税和各种特定行业关税。首尔的努力包括对美国造船业的一项重大投资提案。鉴于日本最近确认的15%关税协议，首尔方面面临着越来越大的压力，要求其达到或超过其条款。唐纳德·特朗普总统警告说，周五之前没有达成协议的国家可能会面临15%至20%的关税。在最后期限之前，韩国财政部长辜云哲将于周四在华盛顿会见美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特，随后韩国外交部长赵铉将与美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥举行会谈。

The South Korean won fell to around 1,390 per dollar on Tuesday, retreating from earlier gains as the US dollar strengthened following a favorable trade deal finalized with the EU. While several major economies have already secured agreements with Washington, Seoul is working urgently to maintain active participation in the negotiations, aiming to ease a looming 25% reciprocal tariff and various sector-specific duties on South Korean exports. Seoul's efforts include a major investment proposal in the US shipbuilding industry. In light of Japan's recently confirmed 15% tariff deal, pressure is mounting for Seoul to match or exceed its terms. President Donald Trump has warned that countries without a deal by Friday could expect to face tariffs ranging from 15% to 20%. Ahead of the deadline, Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol will meet with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Washington on Thursday, followed by Foreign Minister Cho Hyun's talks with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

周二，基准韩国综合股价指数上涨0.10%，至3211点左右，连续第三个交易日上涨，韩国为争取更有利的贸易条件重新进行了外交努力。距离美国可能采取关税措施的最后期限还有三天，工业部长金正宽和贸易部长杨汉求已前往苏格兰，继续与美国同行进行高层谈判。这两位官员早些时候在华盛顿与商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克举行了会谈。他们的访问恰逢唐纳德·特朗普总统抵达苏格兰，与欧盟进行单独的贸易谈判，这被视为敲定关税协议的更广泛外交努力的一部分。韩华航空航天（3.15%）、LG能源解决方案（2.23%）和新韩金融集团（1.34%）领涨，而SK海力士（-1.53%）、现代汽车（-1.14%）和三星电子（-0.99%）则出现亏损。

The benchmark KOSPI rose 0.10% to around 3,211 on Tuesday, extending gains for a third consecutive session amid renewed diplomatic efforts by South Korea to secure more favorable trade terms. With three days remaining until the deadline for potential US tariff measures, Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan and Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo have traveled to Scotland to continue high-level negotiations with US counterparts. The two officials had earlier held talks in Washington with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Their visit coincides with President Donald Trump’s arrival in Scotland for separate trade talks with the European Union, seen as part of a broader diplomatic push to finalize tariff agreements. Major gains were from Hanwha Aerospace (3.15%), LG Energy Solution (2.23%), and Shinhan Financial Group (1.34%), while SK Hynix (-1.53%), Hyundai Motor (-1.14%), and Samsung Electronics (-0.99%) posted losses.

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.
