真实原文：South Korea's preliminary trade data suggests that the country's exports have increased for the first time since August last year, which could be an early sign of a recovery in global demand. South Korea's customs agency announced on Wednesday that exports for the first 20 days of June increased by 5.3% compared to the same period last year, following nine consecutive months of decline. The increase was mainly driven by exports to the United States, stable demand for automobiles, and a surge in shipbuilding orders, with exports to the European Union and China's Hong Kong region also growing on a yearly basis. Moon Junghiu, an economist at the Bank of Korea in Seoul, said that the trade data suggests that global trade may have hit bottom, but whether a full recovery will occur remains to be seen.
