The day's rally extends broadly from battery manufacturers to materials and equipment-related stocks. In particular, major stocks such as Samsung SDI, EcoPro, and POSCO Future M show notable gains.

Meanwhile, the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections and the possibility of subsequent policy changes are also emerging as key concerns for the secondary battery sector. With the Democrats forecast to show strength in the U.S. midterm elections held on the 3rd (local time), attention is focused on how the U.S. political landscape may change. The direction of U.S. energy policy and support for the electric vehicle and battery industries directly affects the business environment of South Korean secondary battery companies. In particular, if the Democrats' influence in Congress expands, attention is being drawn to how discussions on eco-friendly energy and electric vehicle-related policies will unfold.
