001510, 003540, 005930, 006800, 009150, 012450, 036930, 041190, 064260, 086520, 094480, 105560, 196170, 207940, 240810, 247540, 257720, 277810, 373220, 402340

The KOSPI index climbed 1.6% as foreign and institutional investors returned to the market, buoyed by stabilizing US Treasury yields and dovish Fed signals.

What Happened

Market Rebound: The KOSPI and KOSDAQ indices both posted gains as investor sentiment improved following the stabilization of US Treasury yields. Foreign and institutional investors returned to the market as net buyers for the first time in six trading sessions.

Interest Rate Impact: Dovish comments from Fed Governor Christopher Waller eased concerns over further rate hikes, boosting global equity markets. The decline in the US 10-year Treasury yield triggered bargain hunting, particularly in the domestic semiconductor sector.

Key Movers: Major semiconductor stocks like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix led the rally, while Bitcoin-related stocks surged alongside the cryptocurrency's price. Conversely, some battery and financial stocks saw declines, highlighting a divergence in sector performance.

Future Outlook: While the market remains cautious ahead of the US August employment report, individual investor selling limited the upside potential. Investors are closely watching the upcoming labor data for clues regarding the Federal Reserve's future monetary policy path.
