Macquarie analysts stated in a report that South Korea’s benchmark Kospi index is expected to rebound in the short term, driven by chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. The analysts noted that extreme volatility in July was mainly fueled by these two stocks, which together accounted for 71% of the total market capitalization loss. However, as outflows of foreign and institutional funds stabilize, concentrated position funds reallocate, and margin trading balances remain at a reasonable level, market volatility is easing, with limited risk of sudden sharp swings. Macquarie expects earnings revisions to push the Kospi higher, adding that Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix will overcome concerns over peak demand and competition. The two firms’ rapid profit growth should translate into substantial returns for shareholders, they noted. Macquarie maintained its 8,000-point target for the Kospi. (Source: Jinshi)

According to a report by Qatar’s Al Jazeera on the 11th, U.S. President Donald Trump stated in an interview with Real America’s Voice that the U.S. has three “strategies” toward Iran: first, monitor the degree of Iran’s deteriorating situation; second, conduct fierce strikes against it; third, apply economic pressure.

Bank of Korea Senior Deputy Governor Yoo Sang-dae stated that it is necessary to continue raising interest rates, and the pace of future rate hikes will be adjusted based on changes in data such as economic growth and inflation. Unless major shocks or special factors occur, the likelihood of further interest rate hikes remains high. The Bank of Korea previously raised rates for the first time in three and a half years, signaling that it may continue to tighten monetary policy going forward. He pointed out that current policy formulation needs to focus on growth and inflation prospects, and decide on the subsequent policy path based on exports, consumption, and other economic data. Recently, South Korea’s economy, supported by semiconductor exports driven by the AI industry, has posted stronger-than-expected growth while adding to inflationary pressures.

Citigroup strategists noted that positioning in European and U.S. markets has stabilized over the past week, putting pressure on short sellers, with short positions in the S&P 500 being particularly prominent. The team added that investors in both regions injected new capital last week, rather than merely closing out bearish positions. In the U.S. market, the current rally has led to mounting losses for short sellers; the S&P 500’s massive short positions could face forced covering if the market continues its gradual upward trend.
