韩元最近的涨幅保持在1美元兑1450韩元左右，这得益于美元的持续疲软，因为在特朗普不可预测的贸易政策下，对美国经济的担忧持续存在。唐纳德·特朗普总统降低了对加拿大的贸易战威胁，淡化了对经济衰退的担忧，坚称尽管市场波动，美国经济仍将蓬勃发展。在国内，韩国代理总统崔相茂表示，在4月2日设定的互惠关税之前，已开始与美国就关税、能源和造船进行谈判，并警告称特朗普的“美国优先”政策越来越针对韩国。与此同时，最新数据显示，韩国2月份失业率降至2.7%，这是连续第二个月下降，预示着劳动力市场正在复苏。

The South Korean won held its recent gains at around 1,450 per dollar, supported by ongoing weakness in the US dollar as concerns over the US economy persisted amid Trump’s unpredictable trade policies. President Donald Trump dialed back his trade-war threat against Canada and downplayed recession fears, insisting the US economy will thrive despite market volatility. Domestically, South Korea’s acting President Choi Sang-mok stated that talks with the US on tariffs, energy, and shipbuilding had begun ahead of reciprocal tariffs set for April 2, warning that Trump’s “America First” policies are increasingly targeting the country. Meanwhile, the latest data showed South Korea’s jobless rate fell to 2.7% in February, marking its second consecutive monthly decline and signaling a labor market recovery.
