■ Reasons for the Rally and Future Outlook

Some analysts believe that expectations surrounding new U.S. nuclear power projects have influenced investment sentiment in nuclear power-related stocks.

As nuclear power stocks have recently shown large swings depending on market conditions, whether the broad rally on the 25th will continue into the next trading day is also a point of interest.

However, volatility in nuclear power-related stocks could expand depending on policy, expectations for overseas orders, and overall market investment sentiment, so related issues need to be monitored continuously.
