受伊朗緊張局勢加劇擔憂影響,韓國股市開盤走低

By

-- 週五,韓國股市開盤走低,投資者在連續兩日上漲後選擇獲利了結。此前,中東緊張局勢升級,引發了人們對能源供應的擔憂。 韓國綜合股價指數(KOSPI)下跌136.11點,開盤報7353.94點。韓國創業板指數(KOSDAQ)小漲,開盤報1199.47點。 美國中央司令部稱,週五,美伊緊張局勢升級。此前,美軍對途經霍爾木茲海峽的伊朗軍艦發動攻擊,美伊軍事設施遭到攻擊。 美軍在聲明中表示,美軍「不尋求局勢升級」。 伊朗軍方稱,美軍週四晚間的空襲襲擊了格甚姆島、哈米爾港和錫里克沿岸的平民區。 由於投資者擔心中東危機將延長霍爾木茲海峽的持續關閉,這些重新出現的緊張局勢推動布蘭特原油價格上漲 2.3%,超過每桶 102 美元。
