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%).
