Seoul shares end lower on retail selling amid tariff worries
Seoul shares closed lower Friday as investors remained cautious over US President Donald Trump's latest tariff threat. The Korean won fell against the US dollar. The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index fell 4.22 points, or 0.13 percent, to close at 3,188.07. The main index rose 0.39 percent for the week. Trade volume was moderate at 389.98 million shares worth 11.84 trillion won ($8.5 billion). Decliners outnumbered gainers 589 to 303. The KOSPI reversed earlier gains after opening higher, tracking overnight gains on Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.52 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite climbed 0.75 percent. Individuals sold a net 340.72 billion won worth of stocks, offsetting stock purchases by institutions and foreigners of 61.85 billion won and 187.72 billion won, respectively. Trump recently notified key US trading partners of new tariff rates set to take effect Aug. 1 unless they offer sweetened terms in ongoing negotiations. Investors are awaiting second-quarter earnings results from major companies in the coming weeks for clues on the market's direction, while keeping an eye on further developments in US trade policy, analysts said.

Korean Air quarterly cargo revenue falls amid volatile U.S. tariffs
SEOUL (Reuters) -Korean Air reported on Friday a fall of 4% in cargo revenue for the second quarter of its financial year, pointing to market volatility stemming from U.S. tariff policies. South Korea's largest airline is also one of Asia's largest cargo carriers and has benefited in recent years from rising volumes of e-commerce out of China. Its cargo revenues rose 14% on the year in the corresponding quarter last year, and have risen on an annual basis every quarter since, which the airline said was driven by the rising e-commerce volumes. Air cargo shipment volume to the United States from Asia fell by double digits in May since the U.S. scrapped a tax-free exemption for low-value packages from China early that month, Reuters reported, with e-commerce shipments hit hard. "The airline navigated market volatility caused by U.S. tariff policies by diversifying its product offerings and focusing on high-yield cargo," Korean Air said in a statement. Semiconductors, batteries, solar cells, and seasonal perishables were among such items, it added. Quarterly revenue was stable from the corresponding quarter last year, Korean Air said, at 4 trillion won ($2.9 billion) but operating profit fell 3.5% despite lower fuel prices, on rising expenses such as personnel and depreciation costs. It became one of Asia's biggest carriers after completing a $1.3-billion acquisition of rival Asiana Airlines last year.
