Early in the trading session on the 18th, a volatility curb (VI) was triggered for Yuhan Corporation, drawing market attention.

According to the Korea Exchange, at 8:00 a.m. today in the NXT market, a dynamic VI was triggered for Yuhan Corporation at 80,600 won. The dynamic VI reference price was set at 77,600 won, and the VI was lifted at 8:02 a.m. The stock is currently trading at 78,400 won, down 700 won.

In the market, attention is focused on the future direction of monetary policy after the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) kept its benchmark interest rate on hold. The Fed maintained the rate at this meeting but continued its cautious stance by additionally reviewing inflation and employment indicators. Accordingly, global stock markets are showing expanded volatility, with mixed interpretations surrounding the timing of rate cuts and the possibility of further tightening.

Meanwhile, in the domestic stock market, trading centered on individual stocks, including pharmaceutical and bio sectors, remains active. In particular, Yuhan Corporation is one of Korea's leading pharmaceutical companies, and expectations for its new drug development and technology export achievements are consistently cited.

Meanwhile, the VI is a system designed to protect investors and enhance market stability by applying single-price trading for a certain period when an individual stock's price surges or plunges in a short time.
