Two key points to watch in the new week

The market is focused on Samsung Electro-Mechanics' stock price movement in the new week beginning after the weekend. Whether the stock can settle above the 1.4 million won level breached intraday, and whether it can absorb profit-taking selling pressure following the short-term rally, are cited as key watch points.

Various factors will need to be considered together, including global market trends, the direction of U.S. interest rates, major economic indicators, and foreign and institutional supply and demand. Depending on external variables, volatility could also expand in the domestic stock market, particularly for large-cap stocks.
