As military tensions between the United States and Iran heighten, drawing renewed attention to Middle East risks, numerous stocks including Coloray, NeoImmuneTech, and RoboStar recorded double-digit declines in the domestic stock market on the 10th. The expanding psychology of avoiding risky assets is acting as a selling pressure factor across the entire market.

In the market, uncertainty has grown amid continued reports that the US recently launched military actions targeting Iranian-related facilities following a helicopter crash incident. Accordingly, investors have shifted to a wait-and-see approach, keeping a close eye on fluctuations in international oil and raw material prices, as well as global stock market trends.

• ◆ Major Declining Stocks During the Morning Session on the 10th
• Coloray: Down 26.73% to 1,905 won (largest drop)
• NeoImmuneTech: Down 24.23% to 1,898 won
• AFW: Down 18.95%
• Semi TES: Down 16.24%
• Sammok Amsfo: Down more than 14%
• Hyper Corporation, Intron Biotech, JS Link: Down around 13%
• RoboStar (Robot stock): Down 10.54%

Profit-taking sell-offs are also emerging in some growth and tech stocks that had recently maintained a strong performance, leading to expanded selling pressure.

In the market, there are concerns that a prolonged military standoff between the US and Iran could increase volatility in global financial markets. In particular, analysts suggest that if international uncertainty grows, investors will move to relatively safe assets, which could deal a heavier blow to mid-to-small-cap growth stocks and highly volatile stocks.

The securities industry evaluates the current market phase as one where the scale of fluctuations varies greatly depending on the supply and demand of individual stocks. They advised that it is necessary to closely inspect trading volumes and supply and demand flows, as investment sentiment is changing rapidly; while some stocks are heading straight to the daily limit up, others are showing steep declines.
