The KOSPI could fall further to around 5,000 in Q3 due to US tariff risks and Bank of Korea rate hikes, but from Q4 easing inflation, possible war end, and a Fed rate cut will ignite a strong bull market lasting into mid-2027. Investors should be patient and buy the dip via KOSPI-linked ETFs.
US equities face near-term downside risk from a bearish converging triangle pattern forming since June, and new tariffs under Section 301 could act as a breakdown catalyst, dragging Korean stocks lower.
