周五，基准KOSPI指数上涨0.3%，至2762点，连续第四个交易日上涨，并连续第二周录得涨幅，追随华尔街隔夜涨势。最近的一份美国PPI报告显示，通胀压力继续缓解，在消费者通胀数据低于预期的基础上，今年多次降息的希望再次燃起。然而，在美联储发布修订后的利率预测后，预期仍然受到限制。在国内，韩国出口价格在4月份上涨6.5%后，5月份同比上涨7.5%，创下2022年11月以来的最大涨幅，而进口成本在之前上涨2.9%后上涨4.6%，创下自2022年12月以来的最高涨幅。个股中，三星电子（1.7%）、现代汽车（0.4%）、起亚汽车（1.2%）和Celltrion（0.6%）为绿色。

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.
