Kiwoom Securities said on the 9th that it launched a new investment information service using Korea Customs Service import-export data.
The "import-export data utilization service" provides investors with trends by export item based on import-export statistics offered through the Public Data Portal by the Korea Customs Service, linked to the price change rates of related listed stocks.
A main feature, "today's discovery," selects one export item each day and summarizes it along with related stocks' price change rates. With the "top items by export growth rate" feature, users can explore items with high month-over-month export growth by industry. A "my stocks" feature is also provided to quickly search export data related to stocks a user holds.
In addition, various features such as "stock details," "item details," and "export data details" are supported.
The import-export data service is available in the big data menu of Hero MTS S#, the mobile trading system (MTS) of Kiwoom Securities.
A Kiwoom Securities official said, "Import-export data provides meaningful information for investment decisions, but it has been difficult for individual investors to analyze and use it directly," adding, "Through this service, we expect customers to intuitively grasp changes in export trends and use them in their investments."
