Watch oversold sectors for a rebound.
Investors should watch for a rebound in heavily oversold sectors like machinery, automobiles, IT appliances, and chemicals. These sectors have been disproportionately punished during the market downturn. As the market begins to normalize, capital is likely to rotate into these undervalued and neglected areas, presenting a recovery opportunity.

Chemical spreads widening lift earnings
Supply overcapacity in chemicals has been resolved by war-driven shortages; raw material prices are rising while product prices will not fall easily because inventories need replenishing, so spreads should widen and earnings improve. Hyosung TNC and Kumho Petrochemical already showed hints, with Hyosung TNC surpassing prior highs and Kumho Petrochemical still not rebounding.
