The U.S. stock market showed a rebound trend, overcoming the shock of the recent sharp decline. As buying flowed in centering around large-cap tech stocks, major indices all traded in positive territory, and small- and mid-cap stocks also recorded relatively strong gains. In the market, the extreme anxiety seen the previous day appears to have somewhat subsided.

Looking at the trends of major indices as of the afternoon on the 9th, the Dow Jones Industrial Average traded above the 51,128 mark, up more than 342 points (0.67%) from the previous trading day. The S&P 500 index also rose to the 7,452 level, up 0.62%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index soared by more than 190 points, entering the 26,119 mark. In particular, the Russell 2000 Index, which saw an influx of bargain hunting centered on stocks that recently experienced steep declines, recorded an increase of over 1%, showing the strongest momentum among the major indices.

Investors are once again paying attention to tech and growth stocks that underwent excessive corrections during the recent plunge, while maintaining their interest in artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductor-related sectors. As U.S. semiconductor-related stocks, which are highly focused on by domestic investors, show a rebound, expectations for the expansion of the AI industry are being highlighted again.

However, investors' vigilance has not been fully resolved, as this week's U.S. inflation data and the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy direction—cited as key variables that will dictate the future direction of the stock market—remain to be seen. Accordingly, Wall Street's interpretations of the recent rebound are mixed, with some viewing it as a 'typical technical rebound' and others forecasting that an 'uptrend will resume' centered around large-cap tech stocks.

Market analysts analyzed, "Stock market volatility may increase depending on variables related to U.S. inflation and interest rates for the time being," adding, "Whether the index rebound will continue will depend on the upcoming economic indicators as a crucial turning point."
