South Korea Set to Post Solid February Exports, Poll Shows -- Market Talk

Dow Jones02-27

0021 GMT - South Korea is set to report solid February exports on robust chip demand, despite fewer working days in the month. The median forecast from a Wall Street Journal poll of nine economists is for a 25.6% on-year increase in shipments overseas, following a revised 33.8% rise in January. Imports likely rose 13.6% on year in February, resulting in a $10.10 billion trade surplus--wider than the prior month's revised $8.72 billion surplus, the poll shows. Early February trade data showed chip exports are on track for a monthly record. "A semiconductor export boom is underway, with memory prices climbing faster than expected," Hana Securities' Chun Kyu-yeon says. The trade data are due Sunday. (kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com)
