Summary

Park Byeong-chang, CEO of MP Partners, discusses the market impact of the US 10-year Treasury yield touching 5%, the upcoming Fed rate decision, and key risks including war, oil, and AI development slowdown. He argues that memory semiconductor demand remains strong despite AI slowdown fears, citing a Citi report that raised estimates for Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. He advises a cautious approach to KOSPI, waiting for a break above 6,800 before buying, and sees a possible rebound attempt in Nasdaq. He also highlights the accelerating humanoid robot theme.

US 10-year Treasury yield briefly touched 5%, raising market concerns about Fed policy and inflation.
Fed rate decision is critical; a hike with dovish guidance could stabilize long-term yields and support a rebound.
AI technology development slowdown fears are seen as noise; memory demand from AI diffusion remains strong.
Citi raised operating estimates for Samsung Electronics and SK hynix on tight memory supply-demand through 2028.
KOSPI is range-bound; a break above 6,800 is needed to confirm buying, while a breakdown risks a sharp decline.
Humanoid robot commercialization is accelerating with AI advances, according to a Goldman Sachs report.
Stablecoin legislation and regional bank support were discussed, but no specific trade was recommended.

Nasdaq holding up, rebound attempt likely

Despite a wall of negative news—war, high oil, 5% Treasury yields, and AI slowdown concerns—the Nasdaq is holding up well and not crashing as badly as the bad news would suggest. He thinks the index is trying to rise and could attempt a rebound if the Fed communicates clearly.

Fed hike could lower long-term Treasury yields

The 10-year Treasury yield touching 5% is a major market worry. He argues the market wants the Fed to show resolve; if the Fed hikes rates, long-term Treasury yields are likely to fall as inflation expectations are anchored. If the Fed holds, yields could rise further. He expects the Treasury market to find direction and stabilize after the FOMC meeting.

2-year Treasury yield looks overshot

The 2-year Treasury yield at 4.66% is above the Fed funds rate of 3.5-3.75%, which looks like an overshoot. He suggests yields are too high and could fall.

AI diffusion drives memory demand, not slowdown

The speaker argues that fears about slowing AI technology development are overblown noise. Even if AI model development slows, broader AI diffusion across enterprises and daily use will continue to drive demand for HBM, server DRAM, and SSDs, keeping memory supply-demand tight through 2028. He cites a Citi report that raised SK hynix operating estimates by 4-8% and Samsung Electronics by 6-9%. He sees this as bullish for memory chip makers.

Jusung Engineering to rebound after pullback

Jusung Engineering was very strong last week but plunged when the Japanese market dropped. The speaker thinks the drop was due to broad market weakness, not company fundamentals, and expects it to rebound/rise again when the index turns.

Wait for KOSPI above 6,800 to buy

KOSPI is stuck in a tight range without direction. He advises waiting for the index to break above the 11-day moving average at around 6,800 points before buying. If it instead breaks below that line, a sharp decline is likely, so investors should not rush to buy on dips and should watch for a turning signal.

AI accelerates humanoid robot commercialization

Citing a Goldman Sachs report, he says the humanoid robot market will expand faster alongside autonomous driving. AI advances are accelerating robot development from small prototypes to large-scale prototype production and commercial production. He sees this as a structural growth theme.
