Doosan Enerbility (034020) paused for breath after rising for four consecutive trading sessions. In intraday trading on the 23rd, the stock was down 2,700 won from the previous session at 83,800 won, with its decline exceeding 3%.

After climbing for four straight trading days, profit-taking sell orders emerged, weakening the short-term upward momentum. The market is watching both the price burden from the recent rally and the simultaneous war-and-negotiation dynamics surrounding the United States and Iran.

■ Middle East Situation: A Factor Amplifying Intraday Volatility

The Middle East situation affects risk appetite across the stock market as well as international oil prices, meaning related news could expand intraday volatility.

In particular, while military tensions between the United States and Iran continue, moves toward dialogue are also emerging. President Trump said on the 22nd that the two countries held talks again that day and that he believes they will ultimately reach an agreement.

According to the Associated Press, President Trump said that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, representing the US side, met with Iranian officials for about three hours. He characterized it as a good meeting but did not disclose the specific contents of the negotiations.

However, the resumption of US-Iran talks does not immediately mean the war is ending. In his UN General Assembly speech, President Trump issued a stern warning to Iran while maintaining his position that Iran will not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons. With military pressure and negotiations proceeding simultaneously, the outcome of future talks is expected to be a key variable in the Middle East situation.

■ Focus on Whether the Stock Can Limit Losses in the 83,000-Won Range

Accordingly, attention is focused on whether the stock, down more than 3% after four straight sessions of gains, can limit its losses in the 83,000-won range. For the time being, profit-taking on recent gains and news related to US-Iran negotiations are expected to jointly influence the stock's trajectory.
