Today's KOSPI increase is interpreted as a rebound following the rise in the U.S. stock market and the previous day's decline. On the 10th (local time) at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the Dow Jones Industrial Average, centered on blue-chip stocks, closed at 33,739.30, up 134.65 points (0.40%) from the previous trading day.

The rise in the U.S. stock market was driven by a decline in bond yields. Geopolitical risks from the Middle East strengthened the preference for safe-haven assets.
