Doosan Enerbility (034020) boosted investor sentiment by closing with gains of over 6% during the trading session on the 10th. In the after-hours NXT session, the stock rose more than 8% compared to the previous day's closing price. Having recorded an elastic upward trend ahead of the weekend, market attention is now focused on whether this momentum can continue into next week's trading.

However, the key variable that will determine next week's direction is the geopolitical risk in the Middle East. The United States resumed airstrikes on major military facilities in southern Iran, and Iran immediately launched a counterattack on the 12th (local time) with a large-scale attack targeting U.S. military bases in the Middle East. Military clashes between the two sides surrounding the Strait of Hormuz are escalating once again.

If tensions in the Middle East intensify, investment sentiment for risk assets across global financial markets could contract. This could also impact the domestic stock market, meaning stock price trends of large-cap stocks, including Doosan Enerbility, are expected to be directly affected.

The market is closely watching which direction Doosan Enerbility will take amid the interplay between geopolitical variables and industrial momentum. Analysts suggest that investors need to respond by comprehensively monitoring further developments in the Middle East situation, international oil prices, and global market trends early in next week's trading.
