After the APEC summit, the US confirmed it would reduce certain tariffs under the bilateral agreement, including lowering automobile duties from 25% to 15%, along with adjustments to aircraft-parts tariffs and reciprocal trade terms. On the economic front, the annual inflation rate remained unchanged at 2.4% in November 2025, remaining at its highest level since July 2024. The latest figure exceeded the Bank of Korea’s 2% target for the third consecutive month, prompting the central bank to maintain a cautious monetary stance. Gains were led by the auto and semiconductor sectors, with Hyundai Motor (4.52%), Kia Corporation (3.21%), SK Hynix (3.16%), and Samsung Electronics (1.59%) leading the rally.
