On the 29th, as both the KOSPI and KOSDAQ markets plunged together, Hurim Robot was unable to escape the downward trend.

[Hurim Robot Stock Price Trend] On this day, Hurim Robot closed at 5,960 won, down 240 won (-3.87%) from the previous trading day. Trading volume surged significantly from 1,342,234 shares the previous day to 2,759,998 shares, with a current market capitalization of 712.6 billion won. Robotics-related stocks also declined together, largely absorbing sell orders due to the impact of the market plunge on this day.

[Cause of Market Plunge and Government Response] Following a 10.84% crash the previous day (the 28th), the KOSPI index closed down an additional 5.98% at 5,663.24 on this day, triggering sell-side sidecars and circuit breakers in both major markets for two consecutive days.

The securities industry pointed to the sharp decline of large-cap semiconductor stocks such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, along with the amplification of sell volume by 'single-stock leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs)' that track specific stocks, as the main factors behind this downward phase.

In response, the government held an emergency market situation check meeting on this day. At the meeting, regulatory strengthening measures to stabilize the market were announced, including setting individual investment limits on single-stock leveraged ETFs and raising transaction costs.
