周五早盘,基准KOSPI指数上涨0.1%,至2687点左右,较前一交易日有所反弹,追随美联储主席鲍威尔发表温和言论后华尔街的涨势,暗示近期不太可能加息。在个股中,Naver在公布好于预期的第一季度盈利后上涨3.6%。紧随其后的是其同行Kakao,涨幅为2.3%。金融股在昨日领跌后也有所上涨,此前韩国金融监管机构发布了针对选择加入政府改革计划以提高股东价值的公司的详细指导方针。KB Financial(2.6%)、Shinhan Financial(2%)和Hana Financial(3.2%)领涨。本周,基准指数有望上涨1.2%。
The benchmark KOSPI rose 0.1% to around 2,687 points in early trade on Friday, rebounding from the previous session, tracking gains from Wall Street after somewhat dovish remarks made by Fed Chair Powell, suggesting that a rate hike is unlikely in the near future. Among individual stocks, Naver advanced 3.6% after reporting better-than-expected first-quarter earnings. Tracking closely was its peer, Kakao, rising 2.3%. Financials also rose after leading yesterday's decline, following South Korea's financial regulator releasing proposed detailed guidelines for firms opting into the government's reform program to boost shareholder value. Gains were led by KB Financial (2.6%), Shinhan Financial (2%), and Hana Financial (3.2%). Over the week, the benchmark index is poised to rise by 1.2%.
