Summary
Director Lee Ju-yeon analyzes the severe June 8 market crash, identifying three temporary triggers: rate hike fears, semiconductor selloff, and futures/options expiry. He argues the selloff is overdone and points to KOSPI's PER falling below 8x as a historical buying signal while advising caution this week due to CPI and Oracle earnings events.
- Market crashed with circuit breakers triggered on both KOSPI and KOSDAQ.
- Three triggers identified: rate fears from strong employment, semiconductor selloff (Broadcom, SOCAM 2), and options expiry.
- Strong US employment data partly temporary due to World Cup effect.
- Semiconductor selloff viewed as overdone and not structural.
- KOSPI PER below 8x signals a historically attractive buying zone.
- This week's US CPI and Oracle earnings are key risk events.
- Investors advised to be conservative and wait for clarity.
- Jensen Huang's visit provided temporary support to select AI stocks like NAVER.
Ideas
KOSPI PER below 8x is buying zone
KOSPI's PER has fallen below 8x as the index dropped under 8,000, a historically attractive valuation zone where investors can be courageous. The current selloff is driven by temporary macro and technical factors (rate fears, semiconductor noise, options expiry) rather than structural impairment, making this a long-term buying opportunity.
