周二,基准韩国综合股价指数下跌0.8%,至2514点左右,触及两个月来的最低水平,受芯片股大幅下跌拖累,市场担忧美国当选总统唐纳德·特朗普的政策可能对经济产生影响。占出口16%的半导体行业面临着特朗普关税的威胁,这可能会促使中国竞争对手削弱韩国芯片制造商的竞争力。然而,韩国执政党提出了一项“芯片法案”来支持该行业,而政府承诺在全球市场波动的情况下进行24小时财务监控。在芯片制造商中,三星电子和竞争对手SK海力士分别下跌了1.8%和3%。健康和汽车股也出现了显著下跌,包括三星生物制品(-1.7%)、现代汽车(-0.7%)、Celltrion(-2.6%)和起亚(-1.6%)。
The benchmark KOSPI fell 0.8% to around 2,514 points on Tuesday, hitting its lowest level in two months, dragged down by sharp losses in chip stocks amid concerns over potential economic impact of US President-elect Donald Trump's policies. The semiconductor sector, making up 16% of exports, faces threats from Trump’s tariffs that may prompt Chinese rivals to undercut Korean chipmakers. However, South Korea’s ruling party proposed a "chips act” to support the industry, while the government pledges 24-hour financial monitoring amid global market volatility. Among chipmakers, Samsung Electronics and rival SK Hynix tumbled 1.8% and 3%, respectively. Notable losses were also seen among health and auto stocks, including Samsung Biologics (-1.7%), Hyundai Motors (-0.7%), Celltrion (-2.6%), and Kia Corp (-1.6%).
