While the U.S. New York stock market exhibited mixed trends, the Dow Jones Industrial Average showed a strong upward trend, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq index slightly declined, resulting in a consolidation phase.

Looking at the major indices based on Korean time on the 6th, the Dow index rose by 875.23 points (1.73%) compared to the previous trading day, reaching 51,562.30. The S&P 500 index climbed by 30.73 points (0.41%) to 7,584.41. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite index fell by 23.02 points (0.09%) to 26,830.96. The Russell 2000 index, centered on small and mid-cap stocks, rose by 1.46%, indicating a partial recovery in risk appetite.

The market interprets this as a phase where investors are simultaneously assessing the economy and corporate earnings amid ongoing geopolitical tensions surrounding the U.S. and Iran. Recently, the New York stock market has seen expanded volatility due to Middle East variables, but expectations for AI and semiconductor sectors remain intact. In fact, major tech stocks such as Nvidia, Micron, and Dell Technologies have led the strength in AI-related semiconductor stocks, driving the market rally and continuing their trend of setting new all-time highs.

Amidst this, CEO Jensen Huang's schedule to visit Korea, who leads Nvidia, is attracting market attention. As the possibility of expanding cooperation with major Korean companies is being discussed, Jensen Huang is raising expectations for domestic semiconductor and AI infrastructure-related stocks. The market also forecasts that Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and AI server and data center-related companies could once again emerge as beneficiary stocks.

Going forward, U.S. employment indicators, the Federal Reserve's interest rate path, and changes in the Middle East situation are expected to act as additional variables. As the trend of expanding AI investments continues, the domestic stock market is also on high alert to see what cooperation messages will emerge from Jensen Huang's Korea schedule.
