As the domestic stock market plunges sharply, Hanwha Systems (272210) saw its stock price plummet, triggering a volatility interruption (VI) during trading hours, drawing investors' attention.

According to the Korea Exchange on the 20th, as of 11:19 a.m. that day, Hanwha Systems was trading at 61,300 won, down 4,200 won (6.41%) from the previous trading day. The Korea Exchange triggered a 'static VI' for Hanwha Systems at 11:17:18 a.m. The VI is a system that switches to single-price trading for a certain period of time when an individual stock's price changes rapidly within a short timeframe, in order to mitigate excessive price volatility. Currently, the stock is fluctuating around the 61,000-won level during trading hours, showing further expanded volatility.

At the same time, the domestic stock market is also experiencing a sell-off. KOSPI fell more than 4% to 6,536.93, and KOSDAQ also plunged more than 5% to 751.04. As a result, 'sell-side sidecars' were triggered for both the KOSPI and KOSDAQ indices, with both indices continuing to show weakness.

In the market, the prevailing analysis is that as risk-asset aversion sentiment rapidly spreads across the broader market, individual stock volatility is also increasing, and therefore, close attention should be paid to Hanwha Systems' afternoon trading trend and the market's direction.
