Summary

Mirae Asset Director Choi Chang-gyu discusses market volatility driven by AI and semiconductor concentration, SK Hynix's ADR listing catalyst, retail ETF flows, and tactical trading ideas. He emphasizes staying invested in AI, highlights power equipment stocks as a buy on weakness, and suggests SK Hynix will benefit from massive passive ETF inflows. He also points to rebound opportunities in Samsung C&T and Korean securities stocks, and outlines a range-bound KOSPI 200 strategy around the 8,000 level.

H2 market volatility remains elevated due to AI/semiconductor concentration and leveraged products.
Europe rallied on AI semiconductor and power infrastructure plays, setting a positive tone for Korea.
SK Hynix ADR listing expected to draw ~7 trillion won in passive flows and boost related ETFs.
Korean power equipment stocks ('전력기기 3총사') are attractive after recent pullbacks, supported by strong order backlogs.
Samsung C&T and Korean securities stocks are staging technical rebounds from 30-50% drawdowns.
Retail investors aggressively bought Micron, DRAM thematic ETFs, and leveraged products, while trimming Tesla and Nvidia.
Tactical KOSPI 200 approach: buy below 8,000, sell above 8,000 amid range-bound conditions.
Key events include Samsung Electronics preliminary earnings, ISM services, and FOMC minutes.

Ideas

Micron benefits from memory chip shortage.

Memory semiconductors continue to face a structural shortage, making Micron a primary beneficiary. Retail investors have been aggressively accumulating Micron shares, and the memory bottleneck in AI infrastructure supports a positive outlook for the stock.

Buy Korean securities stocks on rebound.

Korean securities stocks have fallen nearly 50% from their highs and have started to show technical rebounds. The extreme sell-off, coupled with a volatile market environment that can boost trading volumes, makes the sector attractive for a bounce-play entry.

Buy Samsung C&T after 30% pullback.

Samsung C&T has corrected about 30% from its high, fitting the pattern of beaten-down stocks staging technical rebounds. With Samsung Electronics' earnings release and upcoming construction project catalysts (e.g., large-scale contracts), Samsung C&T looks attractive for a rebound play. ETFs like TIGER 200 Construction and TIGER Samsung Group offer high Samsung C&T weightings.

Buy Korean power equipment on pullback.

AI data center expansion and strong order backlogs make Korean power equipment stocks (the 'power equipment three musketeers') attractive on the recent pullback. European AI infrastructure stocks also rallied on cooling and power cable demand, and the same trend should benefit the domestic power equipment sector. With solid order books, poor recent price action offers a buying opportunity in these names.

Choi Chang-gyu Director, NH Investment & Securities 32:49

Buy Korean power equipment on pullback.

SK Hynix's upcoming ADR listing (expected July 10) will allow inclusion in major US-listed semiconductor ETFs such as SMH and SOXX, sparking an estimated 7 trillion won in passive inflows. This should boost the share price of SK Hynix and provide a tailwind for SK Square, which holds a large SK Hynix stake. Concentrated exposure can also be achieved via Korean semiconductor ETFs that have high combined SK Hynix + SK Square weights.

Trade KOSPI 200 range: buy low, sell high.

With the KOSPI 200 index hovering around 8,000 points, a simple range-bound strategy is recommended: buy the index when it dips below 8,000 and sell when it climbs above 8,000. This approach aims to capture swings in a high-volatility, directionless market while keeping risk disciplined.
