Kolon Life Science (102940) is drawing investors' attention as it surged during the afternoon session on the 5th.

According to the Korea Exchange, as of 1:22 p.m. on the same day, Kolon Life Science is trading at 18,870 won, up 3,420 won (22.14%) from the previous trading day. As the stock price surged during the session, a static Volatility Interruption (VI) was triggered at 1:19:41 p.m. and lifted at 1:22:05 p.m. The stock price, which had been moving in the 15,000-won range until the morning session, saw a rapid inflow of buying pressure entering the afternoon, widening its gains and recovering the 18,000-won level in one stroke. On the same day, the domestic stock market is continuing its overall upward trend. The KOSPI is rising on the back of buying by foreign investors and institutions, and the KOSDAQ also recovered the 800 level during the session. Investor sentiment is improving, notably in some biotech sectors. However, since Kolon Life Science recently had instances where intraday volatility expanded significantly and VIs were triggered, attention is also focused on the possibility that short-term stock price volatility will continue. In the market, whether the changes in supply and demand in the afternoon session will lead to further gains, or if profit-taking sell-offs will emerge following the sharp short-term increase, is cited as a key variable for the remainder of the session.
