Domestic nuclear power-related stocks closed with overall weakness in the market on the 2nd. As core nuclear stocks and value chain stocks that recently showed strength shifted to a downward trend, investors' attention is focusing on the stock price movements on the 4th, the next trading day after the market holiday.

■ Concurrent Decline in Core Nuclear Stocks and Value Chain On this day, Doosan Enerbility, the leading nuclear stock, finished trading at 103,000 won, down 6.17% from the previous trading day. Wooree Technology also closed the market at 14,550 won, down 6.37%, showing a weak trend.

Nuclear value chain stocks also faced selling pressure. Korea Electric Power Service (KEPCO E&C) closed the day at 126,700 won, down 5.72%, Woojin at 18,940 won, down 4.96%, and Woojin Entech at 21,000 won, down 4.54%.

In addition, most nuclear-related stocks such as Daechang Solution (-3.68%), Orbitech (-2.79%), Sosan Industry (-2.54%), KEPCO KPS (-2.15%), Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) (-1.81%), and Mobis (-0.99%) all simultaneously fell into negative territory.

On the other hand, Geumhwa PSC recorded 30,700 won, up 1.99%, showing rare strength among nuclear stocks.

■ Focus on Rebound vs. Correction in the Market on the 4th After the 3rd Holiday The market is paying attention to the direction of nuclear stocks in the trading session on the 4th, which opens after the holiday on the 3rd. While the KOSPI continues its strong upward trend, the key interest is whether the correction following the short-term surge will continue, or if bargain-hunting buying will flow in and lead to a rebound. Investors are expected to closely monitor overseas stock market movements and domestic and foreign energy policy-related issues to determine the future trend of nuclear stocks.
