Summary

Shinyoung Securities Research Fellow Kim Hyo-jin explains why gradually tightening global liquidity is driving money into AI leaders and Korean semiconductor champions. He discusses the new Nvidia-linked AI infrastructure financing as a chip-backed securitization that may attract large institutional funds despite later risks. He also tempers near-term Nvidia earnings expectations and warns that elevated US long-term yields will remain a recurring risk factor.

  • Global long-term rates are rising and the easy-money era is gradually ending.
  • Investors are rotating into AI winners rather than selling everything.
  • Samsung Electronics and SK hynix remain Korea's main earnings and growth leaders.
  • Nvidia's upcoming earnings may be solid but less likely to spark a strong new rally.
  • AI infrastructure financing backed by chips is seen as more important than the market initially treated it.
  • US 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields are expected to stay elevated with no quick fix.
  • Korean non-memory AI data center and software names are not yet ready to lead.
  • The current AI bubble and CBS trend may create crisis-like risks later.

US long-term yields stay elevated, risk persists
Kim says US 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields have kept rising regardless of Fed rate freezes and oil-price declines, reflecting fiscal sustainability and sticky-inflation concerns. He sees no special measure that will bring long-term yields down sharply; if the Fed resumed buying Treasuries, long-term yields could rise even more because liquidity would loosen and inflation would stay harder to control. Yields will keep intermittently hurting risk assets until the base rate is actually raised.

Liquidity tightening concentrates funds into AI leaders
Kim argues that the post-pandemic abundant-liquidity era is ending as long-term rates rise in the US, Japan and Europe. Rather than selling everything, investors rotate into the most reliable 'ace' assets, and he expects global funds to concentrate even more into AI in the near term, even if this becomes a bubble.

Samsung and SK hynix are Korean aces
Outside semiconductors, Korea has no comparable earnings or growth story. As liquidity tightens, money is forced into the few reliable large-cap winners, and Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are the names still showing strength and attracting AI-related flows.

Nvidia earnings beat may lack surprise power
Nvidia has beaten estimates for years, so a good result is now treated as normal. Kim believes even an in-line or modestly above-consensus earnings report is unlikely to cause a strong additional rally because expectations are already extremely high.

AI infrastructure securitization attracts institutional money
Kim views the Nvidia/BlackRock/KKR/Brookfield AI infrastructure financing as a chip-backed securitization similar to MBS. It shifts GPU and datacenter-related debt and risk to pension funds and sovereign wealth funds, easing circular-financing concerns, while datacenter demand provides relatively steady yields. He rates the news as more important than the market did and expects it to pull institutional money into AI infrastructure near term.
