Lino Industrial (058470), a leading KOSDAQ semiconductor stock, rebounded slightly during the morning session on the 8th, offering a chance to catch its breath following a sharp correction over the past two weeks.

The rebound has drawn market attention as it comes after a sustained correction through the previous day.

■ U.S. Semiconductor Stocks Tumble Amid Middle East Risk, Likely to Weigh on Domestic Sector

The sharp decline on the New York Stock Exchange overnight is cited as a burden for domestic semiconductor-related stocks overall. On the 7th (local time), the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 52,925.15 on the New York Stock Exchange, down 130.76 points (0.25%) from the previous trading day. The Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 index closed at 7,503.85, down 33.58 points (0.45%), and the Nasdaq Composite finished at 25,818.69, down 302.47 points (1.16%).

Geopolitical risks stemming from the Middle East served as the biggest burden on the market. International oil prices surged as news of the U.S. resuming airstrikes on Iran overlapped with reports of attacks on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. In particular, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) plunged 4.65%, with Intel falling 9.66%, Marvell Technology 7.45%, KLA 7.22%, and AMD 6.51%, as semiconductor stocks broadly showed sharp weakness.

Analysts suggest that this weakness in U.S.-origin semiconductor stocks could act as a burden on investor sentiment for Lino Industrial, a specialized manufacturer of semiconductor test sockets and pins. They noted that it is necessary to monitor the market trend since the domestic market opened.

■ Buy-Sell Volume Battle Remains Tight in the Early 72,000-Won Range
