On the 8th, nuclear power-related stocks closed uniformly lower in the domestic stock market. As declines widened amid a contraction in overall market investment sentiment, investors are focusing on whether the market will rebound on the 9th.

Based on the closing prices on this day, key nuclear power stocks experienced significant drops. Doosan Enerbility closed at 86,400 won, down 9.62% from the previous trading day, and Wooree Technologies also fell 8.45% to 13,000 won, showing a weak trend. KEPCO E&C dropped 10.60% to 113,800 won, and Woojin fell 10.29% to 16,380 won. Additionally, Woojintech closed at 19,510 won (-9.88%), Orbitech at 6,850 won (-8.54%), and Mobis at 3,060 won (-7.27%).

Large-cap nuclear power stocks and related stocks also failed to escape the sluggishness. Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) fell 5.51% to 36,000 won, while KEPCO KPS recorded 46,050 won (-5.34%) and Suseo Industry recorded 22,550 won (-4.44%). Daechang Solution (-2.16%) and Geumhwa PSC (-1.38%) also both closed in negative territory.

In the market, whether a technical rebound will occur in the trading session on the 9th following the plunge on the 8th has emerged as the biggest point of interest. It is expected that the short-term stock price direction will be determined by whether bargain-hunting buying will flow into stocks that experienced large drops or whether the correction trend will continue. In particular, it is necessary to keep a close eye on the direction of the two major indices, KOSPI and KOSDAQ, during the trading session on the 9th.
