Hanwha Ocean (042660) surged from the opening of the session, triggering a Volatility Intervention Mechanism (VI). Market attention is focusing on the imminent announcement of the results for the Canadian Navy's next-generation submarine project.

As of 9:06 a.m. on the 7th, Hanwha Ocean is trading at 115,600 won, up 8,700 won (8.14%) from the previous trading day. Strong buying pressure has flowed in since the market open, widening the gain.

According to the Korea Exchange, a dynamic VI was triggered for Hanwha Ocean in the NXT market at 9:00:30 a.m. on the same day and was lifted at 9:02:30 a.m. The VI is a system that applies single-price trading for a certain period to mitigate excessive chasing by investors when the stock price moves sharply in a short time.
