Following the inauguration of the new government, the interplay between stock market revitalization policies and corporate value-up movements has brought the possibility of a 'KOSPI 9000 era' to the forefront as a major market theme. As such expectations spread, multiple stocks hit their upper price limits in the domestic stock market on the 18th.

Stocks that rose to their daily price limits during the session included Namhwa Construction, Gangdong C&L, Seosan, Samhwa Networks, Woolim-ro, Samhwa Electric, Seojeon Electric, BL Farmtech, Samhwa Electronics, Daewha Hwasung, Hanul Semiconductor, and Wiznut.

Looking at individual stocks, Namhwa Construction traded at 4,595 won, up 29.99% from the previous trading day. Gangdong C&L rose 30.00% to 1,859 won, and Seosan climbed 29.96% to 4,815 won, each hitting their upper limits. Samhwa Networks also traded at 1,950 won, surging 30.00%.

By theme, Woolim-ro, an optical communications-related stock, soared 29.98% to 8,150 won, while power equipment-related stocks Samhwa Electric and Seojeon Electric entered their upper limits at 42,900 won and 6,720 won, respectively. BL Farmtech, Samhwa Electronics, Daewha Hwasung, Hanul Semiconductor, and Wiznut also rose to their daily price limits, demonstrating strong buying momentum.

Improved investor sentiment has driven a capital inflow centered on small- and mid-cap stocks and theme stocks. However, some point out that stocks hitting their upper limits carry the possibility of expanded short-term volatility, requiring careful monitoring of disclosures, corporate earnings, and supply and demand trends.
