If You Chase Buys Now, You’ll Get Stuck… Wait Until Next Week’s Signal / We Don’t Know When Foreign Selling on KOSPI Will Pour Out — Lee Geon-hee CEO

Summary

Lee Geon-hee, CEO, reviews the KOSPI rally above 7,000 led by Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. He warns against chasing the current rally ahead of this week’s PPI/CPI and next week’s FOMC, preferring to wait for a confirmed rate-freeze signal before aggressive buying. He remains positive on AI-related semiconductors, semiconductor equipment, power infrastructure and nuclear, sees steel as an emerging AI beneficiary, and views won strength as more supportive of foreign inflows than harmful to exporters.

• KOSPI broke 7,000 again, led by Samsung Electronics and SK hynix.
• AI order flow remains strong, with Anthropic’s backlog and hyperscaler capex supporting semiconductors.
• This week’s PPI and CPI are treated as the main macro watershed before tactical buying.
• KOSDAQ semiconductor equipment names such as HPSP, Wonik IPS, and Jusung Engineering are highlighted as spillover beneficiaries.
• Power infrastructure, nuclear, and fuel cell names remain steady AI-investment recipients.
• Steel stocks may become the next AI-datacenter-driven sector.
• Won strength is framed as a foreign-inflow positive rather than a serious export negative.
