South Korea's June exports continued their growth streak for the ninth month, driven by strong demand for chips and cars, but the expansion fell short of analysts' expectations. Overseas sales increased by 5.1% to $57.07 billion, while imports decreased by 7.5% to $49.07 billion. The slower growth rate was attributed to calendar effects which some analysts had not accounted for, with chip exports surging 52.2% and car exports rising by 3.8%. Despite this, the outlook remains positive for the second half of the year, especially with the expected global demand for South Korean chips and a weak local currency supporting exports.

Tropical cyclone 'Beryl' strengthened on June 29 to become the first named hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season this year, and the earliest record of a Category 4 hurricane forming in the Atlantic. Experts note the unusual early arrival of this hurricane, as it is rapidly intensifying and expected to reach the Windward Islands as a dangerous hurricane. The warm ocean waters in the Atlantic basin, along with a lack of wind shear, are being attributed to Beryl's rapid development, making early storms more powerful and destructive. This year's hurricane season is forecasted to be more active due to above-normal sea temperatures and transitional climate phenomena, requiring vigilance from June 1 to November 30 for potential hurricane formation and development.
