Shares of South Korean defense-related firms jumped Monday in the wake of North Korea’s announcement about a “very important test” at its western satellite launching site over the weekend.
Shares of asphalt plants manufacturer Speco closed nearly 12.9 percent higher from the previous session, at 4,115 won ($3.46). Victek, a provider of military systems and power supply systems, extended gains for the second day and closed nearly 2 percent up at 3,275 won. Both firms are listed on the country’s secondary tech-heavy Kosdaq bourse.
Meanwhile, military communication equipment manufacturer Huneed Technologies’ shares on the main bourse Kospi rose nearly 2.2 percent and closed at 7,560 won.
