As domestic nuclear power plant (NPP)-related stocks fell across the board on the 14th, investors are closely watching whether a rebound is possible in the market on the 15th.

On this day, most NPP theme stocks posted negative performance. While Hyundai Mobis (-0.0%) started flat, key stocks including Korea Electric Power Corporation (-0.2%), Sujan Industry (-0.2%), Geumhwa PSC (-0.9%), Daechang Solution (-1.1%), Wujin Entec (-1.4%), KEPCO KPS (-1.7%), Doosan Enerbility (-2.1%), Wujin (-2.6%), Orbitech (-2.6%), Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (-3.0%), and Woori Technology (-3.2%) all closed lower.

Recently, NPP stocks have been experiencing fluctuations due to the combined effects of expanding volatility in the domestic stock market and global geopolitical risks. On this day as well, the selling trend continued, reflecting shrinking investor sentiment.

The market's focus is now on the trading session of the 15th. Whether a rebound will emerge is the biggest key issue.

The June Consumer Price Index (CPI) announced by the U.S. Department of Labor rose 3.5% year-on-year, while the core CPI, excluding food and energy, recorded a 2.6% increase. These figures came in below market expectations. While expectations may form that the easing of inflation pressure could somewhat reduce the burden on the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy, external uncertainty variables such as geopolitical risks in the Middle East and international oil price volatility still remain.
