Trade Ideas

Reduce Korean semiconductor exposure before June events.
Reduce exposure to Korean semiconductor stocks ahead of potential market correction from CXMT listing, SpaceX IPO, and BOJ rate decision in June, as beta management becomes important in a volatile period.
Korean semiconductor stocks MED

Korean refining sector benefits from supply shock.
Korean oil refining and petrochemical stocks are attractive because Korea has the world's 5th largest refining capacity, benefits from global supply disruptions (e.g., Iran-Israel conflict), and exports petroleum products competitively to the U.S., Australia, Japan, and others.
Korean oil refining & petrochemical stocks HIGH
Choi Gwang-wook CEO, Delta Asset Management 62:26
KOSPI can rise further as P/E compresses.
KOSPI index can rise further because the P/E ratio is declining as earnings surge, and money continues to flow from deposits and real estate into equities.
