基准韩国综合股价指数周三上涨0.6%,至2524点左右,达到七周来的最高水平,并追随华尔街隔夜科技股的反弹。此举是在对缓解美中贸易紧张局势持持续乐观态度之际做出的。在国内,投资者消化了最新数据,显示韩国4月份的失业率从3月份的2.9%降至2.7%,与2月份的水平持平。虽然增加了近20万个工作岗位,但被视为经济支柱的制造业就业人数出现了六年多来最大的年度下降。在指数权重股中,芯片股领涨,三星电子以15亿欧元收购德国通风公司FlaktGroup后上涨0.9%,这是其八年来最大的交易。与此同时,英伟达(Nvidia)供应商SK海力士(SK Hynix)股价上涨2.8%,此前其美国同行宣布与沙特阿拉伯达成一项重大的人工智能芯片交易。造船商也获得了显著收益,如现代重工(1.7%)、韩国造船(1.8%)和三星重工(2.2%)。
The benchmark KOSPI rose 0.6% to around 2,524 points on Wednesday, hitting its highest level in seven weeks and tracking a tech-driven rally from Wall Street overnight. This move came amid sustained optimism over easing US-China trade tensions. Domestically, investors digested latest data showing South Korea’s jobless rate fell to 2.7% in April from 2.9% in March, matching February’s level. While nearly 200,000 jobs were added, manufacturing employment, considered the backbone of the economy, saw its sharpest annual drop in over six years. Among index heavyweights, chip stocks led the charge, with Samsung Electronics rising 0.9% after acquiring German ventilation firm FlaktGroup for €1.5 billion, its largest deal in eight years. Meanwhile, Nvidia supplier SK Hynix climbed 2.8% after its US peer announced a major AI chip deal with Saudi Arabia. Notable gains extended to shipbuilders, such as Hyundai Heavy Industries (1.7%), Korea Shipbuilding (1.8%), and Samsung Heavy Industries (2.2%).
