[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] NPK is showing a rise of over 20% during trading hours.
As of 10:28 AM on the 11th, NPK is trading at 3,230 KRW, up 23.99% compared to the previous day.
NPK is a manufacturer of synthetic resins and other plastic materials. It appears to be experiencing an upward trend due to the Yoon Seok-yeol administration's national agenda, which includes establishing standards related to biodegradable plastics (PLA) with the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Environment, and allowing pyrolysis recycling of waste plastics.
Additionally, the sharp rise in the price of naphtha, which is used as a raw material, is also interpreted as having influenced the surge in stock price.
