Shares of South Korean auto companies rose Tuesday after U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick confirmed that lower U.S. auto tariffs of 15% on South Korea would retrospectively come into effect, starting Nov. 1.
We are also removing tariffs on airplane parts and will 'un-stack' Korea's reciprocal rate to match Japan and the EU,' Lutnick said, according to an X post by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
South Korea's headline inflation in November rose 2.4% year on year, according to government data Tuesday. Core inflation, which strips out prices of fresh food and energy, rose 2% from a year earlier.
The latest figure is unchanged from October's inflation rate, supporting the case for the central bank to keep interest rates on hold. The Bank of Korea had kept rates unchanged at 2.5% for a fourth straight meeting last Thursday.
