[Breaking News] Naver surges 13%, triggering 'Static VI'... Stock market heats up as geopolitical risks ease

Naver (035420) showed a sharp surge during the trading session on the 12th, leading to the activation of the Volatility Interruption (VI). As expectations for the easing of geopolitical risks surrounding the United States and Iran spread throughout the domestic stock market, strong buying volume flowed into large-cap tech stocks.

As of 10:40 a.m. on this day, Naver is trading at 255,000 won on the KOSPI market, up 31,000 won (13.84%) from the previous trading day. The stock price expanded its gains from the beginning of the session, quickly surpassing the 250,000 won mark. Accordingly, the Korea Exchange triggered a Static VI at 10:38:53 a.m.

On this day, the domestic stock market is putting on a strong 'rebound rally' as the risk appetite for risk assets revived following the easing of geopolitical tensions. As of 10:40 a.m., the KOSPI recorded 8,307.16, soaring 543.21 points (6.99%) from the previous trading day, while the KOSDAQ also rose 33.09 points (3.31%) to reach 1,030.02.

In particular, an in-session buy-side sidecar was triggered in the KOSPI market, highlighting the atmosphere of rapidly improving investor sentiment. Amid a flood of buying for top market capitalization stocks overall, Naver is also recording a double-digit growth rate, leading the upward trend.

In the market, there is an analysis that the easing of geopolitical uncertainty is acting as a catalyst for the domestic stock market's rebound. Investors are paying close attention to whether Naver will continue to rise, as well as whether the upward trend of the rapidly surging domestic stock market can be sustained.
