Attention is focused on the stock price movement of Doosan Enerbility (034020) in the new week starting on the 7th. The stock stayed in neutral territory in the session ahead of last weekend, and in the regular session on the 4th, it briefly recovered the 80,000-won level during intraday trading but gave back its gains to close at the same price as the previous trading day. Accordingly, whether the stock can reclaim and settle above the 80,000-won level in the new week is seen as a key watch point.

The external market environment also needs to be examined. On the 4th (local time), all three major indices on the New York Stock Exchange closed lower. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.51%, the Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 index dropped 0.38%, and the NASDAQ Composite Index declined 0.29%. This is interpreted as the effect of stronger-than-expected U.S. August employment data heightening market caution over the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy path.

However, nuclear power-related stocks in the U.S. market did not necessarily move in the same direction as the indices. Some showed strength while others declined, displaying differentiated movements by stock. How U.S. nuclear power and SMR-related stocks move will also be worth watching for their impact on domestic nuclear power stock investment sentiment in the new week.

In particular, major economic indicators that will gauge U.S. inflation trends are scheduled to be released this week. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the August Producer Price Index (PPI) will be released on the 10th (local time) and the August Consumer Price Index (CPI) on the 11th. With recent U.S. employment data coming in stronger than expected, market sensitivity to the Fed's future interest rate decisions has increased, making it difficult to rule out the possibility that investment sentiment could fluctuate depending on the PPI and CPI results. Attention is focused on whether these inflation indicators will become one of the key materials for judging the future U.S. interest rate path.

It remains to be seen whether Doosan Enerbility will digest these external variables in the new week and make another attempt to reclaim the 80,000-won level.
