■ Analysts Point to 'Easing Middle East Tensions'... Maintaining Gains in Afternoon Session Is Key

Regarding the rise in construction stocks, some analysts attribute it to an easing of military tensions in the Middle East after U.S. President Donald Trump commented that the possibility of additional large-scale strikes on Iran is very low.

However, with major construction stocks rising together, the key question is whether they can maintain their gains in the afternoon session. In particular, attention is focused on whether Hyundai E&C can hold on to its double-digit gain and on the movements of major stocks such as DL E&C and Daewoo Engineering & Construction.
