KOSDAQ
Settling above the 1090 level, it recorded a relatively strong gain of 1.6%, showing improved investor sentiment across growth stocks.
NASDAQ
Maintaining its peak around the 22800 level with a 0.8% rise, expectations for major tech stocks and advanced industry themes remain intact.
Today's Watchlist
- As the KRW/USD exchange rate rises to the mid-1480 won range, it is necessary to monitor potential foreign capital outflows and the earnings volatility of import/export companies.
- With clear differentiation among individual companies in the aerospace sector, it seems crucial to check actual orders and earnings disclosures rather than approaching it merely as a theme.
- While the NASDAQ index continues to fluctuate near its all-time high, potential changes in global interest rate policies and Big Tech earnings release schedules should be checked.
Risk Note
If the upward trend in the exchange rate continues, it may negatively impact foreign supply and demand, and short-term surged theme stocks may experience increased volatility, requiring risk management through diversified investments.
