3 companies added to MSCI Korea Index; constituent number unchanged at 81
Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc. has added three new companies, including defense firm LIG Nex1 Co., to its Korea Index, a key gauge of South Korea's stock market, the global index provider announced Friday. The US-based provider of investment research and indices added construction and robotics firm Doosan Co., LIG Nex1 and electric motor maker Hyosung Heavy Industries Corp. while removing the same number of companies from the list, which remains unchanged at 81, according to the company. Those removed are leading food company CJ Cheiljedang Corp., electric components maker LG Innotek Co. and SKC Ltd., a chemical products maker. The rebalancing will take effect Aug. 26. MSCI reviews the Korea Index every three months to reflect changes in the market capitalization of underlying securities. The index is seen as a benchmark of the South Korean market, and changes to its constituents can affect the movements of passive funds tracking the index. Market watchers had expected additions to outnumber exclusions in the August review, considering that the country's stock market has been showing a strong performance compared with its global peers. In February, the MSCI excluded 11 companies from the list while adding none amid weakness in the local stock market. The index provider added two new companies and took out two others in its May review. (Yonhap)

Korean Air, Anduril join hands to co-develop uncrewed aircraft
South Korea's leading air carrier, Korean Air, announced on Thursday that it has signed a teaming agreement with US defense technology company Anduril to establish a strategic partnership in the uncrewed aerial vehicle sector across Korea and the broader Asia-Pacific region. The signing ceremony took place at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seoul, attended by key executives including Lim Jin-kyu, senior vice president of Korean Air's aerospace division, and Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril. The agreement builds upon a memorandum of understanding signed in April, through which both companies have been actively discussing areas of collaboration. Under the agreement, the two sides aim to co-develop Korean-tailored UAV models based on Anduril's products, explore licensed production and consider the establishment of an Asia-based UAV manufacturing hub, to be known as Arsenal South Korea. Their shared goal is to expand into the Asia-Pacific UAV market by focusing on mission-autonomous drone systems. Additional discussions are to take place following this agreement, with the aim of signing a final deal early next year. 'This collaboration between a leading UAV developer in Korea and an artificial intelligence-powered defense technology company marks the turning point in the global UAV market,' said a Korean Air official. 'We will further contribute to Korea's defense autonomy.'

Lucid EV sets world record with Samsung SDI battery
Samsung SD announced Thursday that the Lucid Air Grand Touring, a premium electric vehicle powered by its nickel-cobalt-aluminum battery, has been listed in the Guinness World Records for the longest driving range on a single charge. According to the company, the luxury EV from US-based Lucid Motors traveled 1,205 kilometers without recharging during a test drive between St. Moritz, Switzerland, and Munich — surpassing the previous record by 160 kilometers. The long-range model is the result of a strategic partnership between Samsung SDI and Lucid Motors established in 2016. The vehicle is powered by 6,600 units of Samsung SDI's 21700 cylindrical batteries — 21 millimeters in diameter and 70 mm in height — and features a high-performance powertrain that delivers up to 831 horsepower. Samsung SDI used a silicon-based anode in its NCA battery to achieve high capacity and extended lifespan. The battery also offers fast-charging capabilities, enabling the vehicle to travel 400 kilometers with just 16 minutes of charging. "Samsung SDI's cylindrical batteries are powering the world's longest-range EV. This proves the company's top-tier technological capabilities,' a Samsung SDI official said. 'We will continue to grow our global market share by strengthening collaboration with Lucid Motors and accelerating the development of differentiated performance and safety features.'
