While the KOSPI recorded a historic rebound by soaring more than 8%, Doosan Robotics, which had recently surged, showed a contrasting trend by falling more than 8%. This is interpreted as the effect of profit-taking sell-offs that poured in following the steep rally centered on robot stocks.
According to the Korea Exchange on the 9th, Doosan Robotics finished trading at 1,166,000 won, down 10,600 won (8.33%) from the previous trading day. Starting at 1,320,200 won early in the session, it once rose to 1,322,000 won, but selling pressure expanded afterwards, pushing it down to 1,124,000 won during the day. The daily trading volume was tallied at 2,198,078 shares, with a trading value of about 260.7 billion won, and its market capitalization recorded around 7.558 trillion won.
On this day, the domestic stock market succeeded in a strong rebound, breaking free from the previous day's shock of a sharp plunge. The KOSPI closed at 8,096.93, up 612.52 points (8.18%) from the previous trading day, recovering a significant portion of the previous day's decline. The market is paying attention to the possibility of easing tensions surrounding the United States and Iran recently. As concerns over a direct clash between the U.S. and Iran calmed somewhat, a risk-on sentiment recovered across the global financial markets. In addition, analysts say that the rebound in the U.S. stock market, centered on semiconductors and tech stocks, also positively contributed to improving domestic investment sentiment.
In the securities industry, it was evaluated that investor psychology, which had been excessively contracted after the circuit breaker was triggered the previous day, recovered quickly, attracting low-price buying. Kang Jin-hyuck, a researcher at Shinyoung Securities, diagnosed in a report titled 'Bipolar KOSPI,' 'The KOSPI saw an inflow of low-price buying after the circuit breaker was triggered the previous day, and a buy-side circuit breaker was activated today.' Lee Kyung-min, a researcher at Daishin Securities, also explained, 'As the negative factors that caused the short-term plunge were alleviated and resolved, low-price buying flowed into the domestic stock market,' adding, 'In particular, the increase was prominent centered on large-cap semiconductor stocks, which had experienced excessive declines.'
On the other hand, Doosan Robotics, which had surged in the short term due to recent expectations related to robots and artificial intelligence (AI), showed a pattern of being left out as profit-taking sell-offs concentrated on it, even amidst the market's rebound trend.
