★★★★☆ (4/5) · 05:30 KST · Observational Market Outlook

Today's Assessment: The fear stemming from yesterday's sharp decline has somewhat eased. The Fear Index (VIX) has decreased from 22.22 to 19.44, and KOSDAQ has strongly rebounded by +4.76%. Oil prices also sharply fell by -5.41%, suggesting a partial reduction in Middle East-related risks. However, the market sentiment index remains at 9 points (extreme fear), indicating a sustained low. In contrast to yesterday, observed market conditions indicate a potential for cautious resumption of new purchasing activity. A notable factor is the semiconductor (46%) weighting, which represents half of assets; this weighting is identified as a potential area for adjustment during a rebound.
