SK hynix will rebound after passive selling.
The recent correction in SK hynix is driven by passive/index fund selling and option expiry overshooting, not active selling of the stock itself. Volume is low, indicating that the selling is not aggressive. After the correction, SK hynix will resume its uptrend. Investors should hold or buy on dips, not sell.

Samsung Electronics will recover after passive selling.
Samsung Electronics is experiencing the same passive selling pressure as SK hynix due to index fund rebalancing and BlackRock raising cash for SpaceX. The selling is not based on fundamental deterioration. Samsung Electronics will recover after the adjustment phase.

KOSPI level-up supports above 3,000.
KOSPI has broken above its multi-year resistance level around 3,000 in a structural level-up event, similar to the break above 1,000 in the mid-2000s. Historical pattern shows that after such a break, the previous resistance becomes new support, making a fall back to the old range (e.g., 2,000) unlikely. This implies a higher structural floor for the Korean equity market.

US equities remain buyable into midterms
U.S. soft retail sales and sentiment data reflect normalization of World Cup-related hospitality overshoot, not a recession. U.S. indices are near highs and are digesting supply at prior highs with low volume, so the environment remains buyable. Sector rotation favors autos, consumer discretionary and rate-sensitive banks as midterm election stimulus expectations build, while technology exposure has diminished.

S&P 500 rally post-midterms likely.
Historical midterm election patterns show the S&P 500 tends to be weak in August-September (3 months before the vote) and then transitions to a rally around November. This year the pattern is delayed by the US-Iran war and inflation pressures, but the underlying dynamic remains. If the Trump administration pushes fiscal stimulus from tariff revenues and a ceasefire materializes, the US equity market could see a strong H2 rebound.

Apple and GM show relative strength.
Apple and GM are US consumer discretionary names whose charts are holding up well and showing accumulation. They represent relatively attractive pockets within the market rotation, offering exposure to stable consumer demand and solid free cash flow generation.

Favor pharma over biotech as yields fall.
Lee expects no Federal Reserve rate hike before the November midterm elections, and with Treasury yields easing into the September FOMC, he sees the rate-sensitive pharmaceutical sector as an area to watch and buy. Biotech, by contrast, should be used as an opportunity to exit rather than as a new long.

Consumer discretionary stocks offer steady upside.
Interest-rate sensitive consumer discretionary stocks such as Apple, GM, Hyundai Motor, and Korean cosmetics are showing resilience and can steadily rise, driven by domestic consumption and cyclical recovery. These are better-suited holdings in a volatile market compared to oversold semiconductor-related sectors.

Own Korean banks for rate cycle leadership
As the market transitions into a developed-market style, the next leaders will likely be interest-rate beneficiaries, particularly bank stocks. With interest rates expected to stay elevated, Korean banks offer attractive yields and can deliver 30-50% returns over the holding period plus dividends. KB Financial and Shinhan Financial are flagged as candidates to lead the second half.

Consumer discretionary and cosmetics look supported.
With Treasury yields likely staying lower into the September FOMC window, consumer discretionary and beauty deserve attention through September. Estee Lauder, a global cosmetics leader, reported earnings and jumped 16%, and Korea's cosmetics export performance has been notable, supporting a positive tactical view on the consumer/beauty complex.
