Daily Briefing (KOSPI & Nasdaq)

As of 2026-09-16 16:00:17

Global & Domestic Financial Markets Briefing: September 16, 2026

Key Takeaways
  • Despite pressure from elevated long-term U.S. Treasury yields and volatile crude oil prices, the KOSPI closed 1.37% higher on oversold sentiment and technical rebound buying.
  • The KOSDAQ maintained a steady upward trajectory, adding 0.44% on selective inflows targeting theme-based, biotech, and individual growth stocks.
  • The USD/KRW exchange rate edged slightly higher to 1,368.20, while major global equity markets, including the Nasdaq, adopted a cautious stance ahead of the FOMC meeting and upcoming macro indicators.
Highlights

KOSPI

Following tests of short-term support, bargain hunting flowed into mega-cap semiconductors and top-tier names to reclaim the 6,700 level; however, managing volatility remains critical depending on the sustainability of foreign capital flows.

Highlights

KOSDAQ

While benchmark gains were more subdued than the KOSPI, robust trading activity in momentum-driven biotech and component plays supported an attempt to settle in the mid-810 range.

Highlights

NASDAQ

While current trading session figures remain subject to confirmation, upward momentum faces headwinds from U.S. Treasury yield trajectories and growing caution over profit-taking in tech leaders.

  2. 2 Dongbu Construction 005960 KOSPI

  3. 3 Sangsin EDP 900140 KOSDAQ
    + 5.68% Advanced on broader supply-demand improvements across secondary battery component shares
  4. 4 HD Hyundai Heavy Industries 329180 KOSPI

  5. 5 KBI Metal 024840 KOSDAQ
    + 4.66% Short-term volatility increased in tandem with commodity and non-ferrous metal price movements
Today's Watchlist
  • Whether the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield remains elevated near the 5% handle and its valuation impact on growth equities
  • Crude oil (WTI) price swings tied to geopolitical developments, including pipeline disruptions in Saudi Arabia, and resulting pressures on domestic import costs
  • The sustainability of net buying by foreign and institutional investors in large-cap semiconductors alongside USD/KRW currency dynamics in the high 1,360s
