As of 9:19 a.m. on the 26th, domestic nuclear power-related stocks began trading with an overall weak trend.

As of this time, the stock price trends of major stocks are as follows:

• Sole gaining stock: Geumhwa PSC (31,750 KRW, +0.63%)
• Major declining stocks: Wujin Entec (16,040 KRW, -7.39%), Doosan Enerbility (84,300 KRW, -3.98%), Wujin (15,540 KRW, -4.48%), KEPCO KPS (43,500 KRW, -3.86%), Daechang Solution (1,608 KRW, -3.77%), Mobis (2,720 KRW, -3.54%), KEPCO Engineering & Construction (103,000 KRW, -3.37%), Woori Technology (11,800 KRW, -3.27%), Orbitech (5,320 KRW, -3.09%), Soosan Industries (20,150 KRW, -1.70%), Korea Electric Power Corporation (38,250 KRW, -1.41%)

With most nuclear power-related stocks showing a downward trend early in the session, investors are on high alert over whether intraday losses will narrow and how supply and demand conditions will shift going forward. In particular, attention is focused on what ripple effects the trends of key large-cap stocks such as Doosan Enerbility and KEPCO Engineering & Construction will have on investor sentiment across the nuclear power theme as a whole.

Meanwhile, the U.S. May Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, announced the previous day, rose 4.1% year-on-year. As the PCE is the price indicator most closely watched in the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy decision-making process, there is intense interest in the impact this PCE result will have on future interest rate outlooks and investor sentiment. Accordingly, market attention is also focused on the future direction of global financial markets, including both U.S. and domestic stock markets.
