Domestic nuclear power-related stocks closed broadly higher on the 15th. This reflects the positive impact of improving global investment sentiment, as the US Producer Price Index (PPI), following the recent Consumer Price Index (CPI), came in below market expectations.

Domestic Stock Market's Dual Indices Show Strength... Nuclear Power Stocks Rise Across the Board On this day, both major indices of the domestic stock market closed higher on the Korea Exchange. The closing prices of major nuclear power-related stocks are as follows.

• Doosan Enerbility: Closed at 72,200 won, up 1.83% from the previous trading day
• Woori Technology: Closed at 10,730 won, up 3.77%
• Major Advancing Stocks: Korea Power Engineering (1.85%), KEPCO KPS (1.62%), Korea Electric Power Corporation (0.14%), Woojin (4.95%), Orbitech (6.18%), Woojin Entech (5.52%), Geumhwa PSC (2.37%), Susan Industry (1.93%), Mobis (5.97%), Daechang Solution (7.75%)

US Inflation Indicators Cool... Expectations for Easing Inflation Grow Behind the strength of nuclear power stocks lies the signal of easing US inflation. The US June PPI, announced on the 15th Korean time, rose 5.5% year-on-year, falling short of market expectations, and declined 0.3% compared to the previous month. Core PPI, excluding food and energy, also managed only a 5.1% year-on-year increase. The previously announced June CPI indicator also showed a slower-than-expected pace, fueling market expectations for easing inflation.

Focus Shifts to Future Monetary Policy and Additional Rebound in Nuclear Power Stocks The market is closely watching the impact that the consecutively released US inflation indicators will have on the Federal Reserve's (Fed) future monetary policy and investment sentiment toward global risk assets. Attention is also focused on whether domestic nuclear power stocks can continue their upward trend, including additional rebounds, riding this favorable macroeconomic tailwind.
