[Breaking News] Nuclear power stocks surge, including Doosan Enerbility and Woori Technology... KOSPI buy sidecar activated as geopolitical risks ease

Domestic nuclear power-related stocks are collectively showing a strong upward trend early in the trading session on the 12th. As geopolitical risks surrounding the United States and Iran have somewhat eased, investor sentiment has recovered, bringing a warm wind to the overall domestic stock market.

As of 9:18 a.m. on the 12th, most nuclear power-related stocks are recording an upward trend. The market prices of major stocks are as follows.

• Doosan Enerbility (034020): Traded at 93,800 won, up 5.86% from the previous trading day, hovering above the 90,000 won mark. • Korea Electric Power Industry Development (KEPCO E&C): 122,900 won, up 5.58% • Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO): 37,800 won, up 5.29% • Daechang Solution: 1,964 won, up 5.53% • Soosan Industry: 24,750 won, up 3.34% • Woori Technology: 13,910 won, up 2.88%

In addition, Eugene (2.39%), Orbitech (1.56%), Wujin Entech (1.19%), and Mobis (1.09%) all showed an upward trend. Although the increase was relatively small, KEPCO KPS (up 0.70% at 49,650 won) and Geumhwa PSC (up 0.15% at 32,700 won) also maintained a firm upward trend.

On this day, both major indices of the domestic stock market are strong. This is interpreted as the effect of the revived preference for global risk assets, as expectations spread that the conflict between the U.S. and Iran could ease. The New York Stock Exchange also closed higher overnight amid expectations of easing tensions in the Middle East, contributing to the recovery in investor sentiment.

In particular, due to the rapid surge, the Korea Exchange activated a buy sidecar for the securities market early in the session. The buy sidecar is a market safety mechanism that temporarily suspends the validity of program buy orders when the KOSPI 200 futures price surges beyond a certain level.

The market analysis suggests that interest in nuclear power-related stocks, which are maintaining policy expectations along with the recovery of risk asset preference due to easing Middle East tensions, is likely to continue for the time being. However, due to the nature of geopolitical variables, volatility may expand depending on the flow of related news, experts advise investors to approach the market with caution.
