基准KOSPI指数周五上涨0.4%，至2644点左右，此前连续两个交易日大幅下跌，并在逢低买入和美国国债收益率隔夜下跌的情况下从一个多月低点反弹。周四，对美国GDP数据的第二次估计低于预期，这增加了人们对美联储在年底前至少降息一次的希望。在经济数据方面，继3月份修正后下降3%后，4月份韩国工业生产环比增长2.2%。在各板块中，金融板块反弹幅度最大，KB Financial（3.2%）、Shinhan Financial（5%）和Hana Financial（2.8%）涨幅显著。其他指数权重股也上涨，包括三星电子（1%）、LG能源解决方案（0.6%）、起亚公司（0.9%）和LG化学（1.6%）。该指数本月将下跌1.8%，本周将下跌1.6%。

The benchmark KOSPI rose 0.4% to around 2,644 points on Friday, following two consecutive sessions of steep falls and rebounding from an over a month low, amid bargain hunting and an overnight drop in US Treasury yields. On Thursday, second estimates of the US GDP data came in slower-than-expected, raising hopes that the Federal Reserve would lower interest rates at least once before the year's end. On the economic data front, South Korea’s industrial production in South Korea rose by 2.2% month-on-month in April, after a revised 3%% fall in March. Among sectors, financials posted the biggest rebound, with notable gains from KB Financial (3.2%), Shinhan Financial (5%), and Hana Financial (2.8%). Other index heavyweights also advanced, including Samsung Electronics (1%), LG Energy Solution (0.6%), Kia Corp (0.9%), and LG Chem (1.6%). The index is set to drop 1.8% over the month, and 1.6% for the week.
