周四，基准KOSPI指数上涨1%，至2755点，收于3月下旬以来的最高水平，追随美国通胀数据公布和美联储政策决定后华尔街隔夜的反弹。美国最近的数据显示，通胀率低于预期，而央行保持利率稳定，并改变了点图，预计今年只会降息一次。在国内，在政府表示将在正在进行的关于解除交易策略禁令的适当时机的讨论中评估卖空规定的修订后，情绪有所缓和。此外，韩国财政部和央行官员宣布，他们将密切协调，以应对全球货币政策分歧带来的潜在市场波动。在权重股中，芯片制造商领涨，三星电子上涨2.8%，同行SK海力士上涨3.3%。

The benchmark KOSPI rose 1% to 2,755 points on Thursday, closing at its highest level since late March, tracking an overnight Wall Street rally following the release of US inflation data and the Federal Reserve’s policy decision. Recent US data showed a softer-than-expected inflation print, while the central bank held its rates steady and shifted its dot plot to project only one rate cut this year. At home, sentiments were lifted after the government stated it will evaluate revisions to its short-selling regulations during ongoing discussions about the appropriate timing for lifting the ban on the trading strategy. Additionally, South Korea's finance ministry and central bank officials announced that they will coordinate closely to address potential market volatility due to diverging global monetary policies. Among heavyweights, chipmakers led the charge, with Samsung Electronics advancing 2.8%, while peer SK Hynix jumped 3.3%.

周三早盘，基准KOSPI指数上涨0.4%，至2717点左右，连续第二天上涨，在美国CPI报告和美联储当天晚些时候做出利率决定之前，电子股领涨。尽管人们普遍预计美联储将保持利率不变，但交易员可能会关注附带的声明以及对经济和利率的最新预测。在国内，韩国银行5月份的会议记录显示，由于价格压力的持续不确定性，董事会成员表示有必要谨慎放松货币政策。在经济新闻中，韩国5月份的失业率稳定在2.8%的低点，而就业增长放缓至三年多来的最低水平，这一疲软的结果可能支持当局考虑政策调整。值得注意的早盘涨幅包括三星电子（0.5%）、三星生物制品（1%）、三星SDI（1.7%）、新韩金融（1.3%）和LG电子（1.6%）。

The benchmark KOSPI advanced 0.4% to around 2,717 points in early trade on Wednesday, extending its gains for the second day, led by electronics stocks ahead of the US CPI report and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision later in the day. While the Fed is widely expected to leave rates unchanged, traders are likely to focus on the accompanying statement and latest projections for the economy and interest rates. At home, the Bank of Korea's May meeting minutes showed that board members expressed the need for caution in easing monetary policy due to ongoing uncertainty over price pressures. In economic news, South Korea’s unemployment rate held steady at a low 2.8% in May, while jobs growth slowed to its lowest in more than three years, a weak outcome that may support the case for authorities to consider policy adjustments. Noteworthy early gainers included Samsung Electronics (0.5%), Samsung Biologics (1%), Samsung SDI (1.7%), Shinhan Financial (1.3%), and LG Electronics (1.6%).
