周四早盘，基准KOSPI指数下跌1.1%，至2645点左右，扭转了前一交易日的涨幅，尽管国内GDP数据强劲，但交易员仍保持谨慎立场，受美国国债收益率持续高企抑制市场情绪的影响。根据预先估计，在截至2024年3月的三个月里，韩国经济季度环比增长1.3%，这是自2021年12月以来的最大增幅，超过了增长0.6%的预测。强劲的数据刺激了市场对韩国央行将推迟降息的预期。多数板块出现亏损，芯片制造商领跌。芯片巨头SK海力士（SK Hynix）股价下跌2.6%，尽管其公布了近两年来的最高利润，同行三星电子（-1.7%）紧随其后。电池股在前一交易日强劲反弹后也有所回落，LG Energy Solution下跌1.6%，三星SDI下跌0.7%。

The benchmark KOSPI dropped 1.1% to around 2,645 points in early trade on Thursday, reversing gains from the previous session, as traders maintained a cautious stance despite robust domestic GDP figures, influenced by the persistently high US Treasury yields dampening market sentiments. South Korea's economy expanded 1.3% quarter-on-quarter in the three months to March 2024, the largest expansion since December 2021, and surpassing forecasts of a 0.6% rise, according to advance estimates. The strong data fueled market expectations that the Bank of Korea will delay reducing interest rates. Most sectors were in the red, with chipmakers leading the market lower. Chip giant SK Hynix contracted 2.6%, even after reporting its highest profit in almost two years, tracked by its peer Samsung Electronics (-1.7%). Battery stocks also retreated after a strong rally in the prior session, with LG Energy Solution tumbling 1.6%, and Samsung SDI falling 0.7%.
