Following the shock of 'Black Monday,' which shook global financial markets the previous day, the domestic stock market is showing a strong rebound. As the fear psychology that poured out during the sharp decline subsided in just a day, investors are focusing on whether this rebound will remain a short-term technical rebound or become the starting point for a trend recovery.

KOSPI and KOSDAQ Surge Around 4% in Early Trading In early trading on the 9th, the KOSPI started at 7,778.87, up 294.46 points (3.93%) from the previous trading day. The KOSPI 200 recorded 1,235.15, up 48.60 points (4.10%), and the KRX 100 stood at 19,558.37, up 774.85 points (4.13%). The KOSDAQ also showed a strong trend, recording 944.95, up 33.57 points (3.68%), adding strength to the improvement in investor sentiment.

The spread of buying pressure across the overall market was also confirmed. In the KOSPI market, advancing stocks reached 770, while declining stocks were limited to 111. In the KOSDAQ market, advancing stocks recorded 1,362, significantly outnumbering the 263 declining stocks.

Direction of AI and Semiconductor Stocks is Key Variable This rebound is interpreted as the result of a combination of inflows of low-priced buying following the previous day's sharp decline and the stabilization of the U.S. stock market. While investor sentiment shrank recently as global tech and semiconductor stocks underwent heavy corrections, it is analyzed that bargain hunting against the excessive decline is rapidly changing the market mood.

In particular, there are predictions that if semiconductor and AI-related stocks show strength again, the rebound momentum of the entire domestic stock market could expand. As expectations for Nvidia and the global AI industry remain valid, the supply and demand changes in related sectors are cited as key variables that will determine the future market direction.

Volatility Remains... Caution Advised for 'Potential Repeated Fluctuations' However, the securities industry points out that volatility has not been fully resolved. Analysts say that due to remaining variables such as the direction of U.S. interest rate policies, global economic trends, and geopolitical factors, there is a possibility of repeated fluctuations in the short term. The market is divided on judging whether the previous day's sharp drop was excessive selling driven by fear or the start of a further correction.

However, looking at least at the early trading trend of this day, the domestic stock market appears to be breaking free from the 'Black Monday' shock and writing a rebound drama.
