Summary

The episode reviews global markets ahead of the FOMC. The China segment highlights China Jushi as an AI-server electronic fiberglass beneficiary. The US segment focuses on oil supply disruption, 5% 10-year yields, selective semiconductor/optical rebounds, and crypto regulatory delays. The Korea segment covers memory earnings debate, battery leaders, and daily KOSPI/KOSDAQ and US index forecasts.

  • China Jushi benefits from electronic-grade fiberglass shortage and AI server demand.
  • Middle East oil supply disruption pushed WTI/Brent higher and refiners to records.
  • FOMC 25bp hike is nearly priced; 10-year yield may fall below 5%.
  • Bitcoin long-term chart remains positive despite Clarity Act delay.
  • Robinhood's tokenized stock expansion is a conditional watch item.
  • Samsung Electronics memory report is debated; January earnings rebound expected.
  • LG Energy Solution and Samsung SDI are discussed with SDI favored for next battery cycle.
  • Daily calls: KOSPI up, KOSDAQ down; Nasdaq/S&P up, Dow down.
Ideas
Wang Jeong Department Head 19:46
China Jushi leads electronic glass fiber shortage.
China Jushi is the global No.1 electronic-grade fiberglass/glass-fiber cloth maker with about 25% market share. AI server demand is driving electronic-grade fiberglass fabric prices, with the 7628 product up 49.3% YoY and potential 3Q ASP up about 48% QoQ; 2Q revenue rose 27% YoY and operating profit 74% YoY with 44% gross and 30% operating margins. Supply shortages in electronic-grade glass fiber cloth are expected from late next year through early 2028, while capacity expansion and customer certification should add operating leverage. At 15-20x next-year earnings, the stock could rise 20-60% versus yesterday's close and potentially double over a year if current prices hold.
Choi Ho Vice President 26:29
Middle East supply risk supports oil.
Middle East supply disruption is the key driver: Houthi attacks on Saudi Yanbu and the east-west pipeline have halted some loadings, delayed Iran talks and raised fears of further escalation, pushing WTI above $106 and Brent above $109, with WTI up 23% in two weeks. The energy sector rose 2.2% and major refiners hit record highs. The key monitorable is whether oil can stabilize lower, but near-term supply risk remains.
Bitcoin long-term chart supports golden cross.
Bitcoin's long-term chart is not damaged: the 50-week and 200-week moving averages are narrowing toward a potential golden cross, and the recent rejection at the 50-week average is technically normal. Short-term ETF outflows and Clarity Act disappointment are political noise; the larger structure remains positive.
Robinhood tokenized stocks may expand growth.
Robinhood is introducing spot redemption and voting rights for its tokenized stock tokens. If successful, this expands its new growth line beyond meme coins into tokenized equities and could add leverage to its business; if regulators block it, the stock could be hit. The setup is worth watching as a conditional positive.
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 106:53
Memory rebound expected around January earnings.
The bearish Samsung Electronics report may be too conservative: Apple reportedly agreed to pay more than 30% higher DRAM prices in 1Q next year versus 3Q, which argues memory prices are unlikely to break through the first half. Earnings estimate cuts are overdone, and semiconductor names could rebound strongly around January earnings, even if October earnings are less powerful.
Choi Ho Vice President 110:25
LGES earnings to surprise on 4680.
A positive analyst report on LG Energy Solution raised 3Q operating profit to about KRW 400bn from KRW 223bn previously and above the KRW 290bn consensus, implying about 256% QoQ growth. The thesis cites ESS profitability improvement, European EV projects, the North American Ultium line restart, strong small-battery demand from Tesla models, and a 4680 ramp where LGES is 1.5-2 years ahead of domestic peers. The report expects 2026 operating profit of about KRW 1.2tn to beat consensus.
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 119:50
Samsung SDI leads next battery cycle.
Samsung SDI is the preferred battery leader into next year. It has an earlier solid-state battery commercialization timeline (2027) than LG Energy Solution and CATL (2029-30), is cheaper than LGES on forward valuation, and should benefit from compact batteries used in robots and drones. When the battery cycle turns, SDI should lead.
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 122:28
Korean market holds up better than US.
The Korean market is holding up relatively well despite the near-certain FOMC rate hike. Past cycles such as the late 1980s and mid-2000s China infrastructure boom saw Korea outperform the US, and increased investor education/collective intelligence has reduced panic-driven volatility. The market does not look bad.
Choi Ho Vice President 124:04
Nasdaq and S&P rise, Dow falls.
The FOMC 25bp hike is almost fully priced, so the meeting is unlikely to shock markets. As rate-hike uncertainty clears, Nasdaq and S&P 500 can close slightly higher, while the Dow is expected to close lower.
Choi Ho Vice President 124:04
Nasdaq and S&P rise, Dow falls.
The FOMC 25bp hike is almost fully priced, so the meeting is unlikely to shock markets. As rate-hike uncertainty clears, Nasdaq and S&P 500 can close slightly higher, while the Dow is expected to close lower.
Choi Ho Vice President 127:56
KOSPI rises while KOSDAQ falls.
KOSPI is likely to rise and close as a white candle after four consecutive down days, because such a streak has not occurred since mid-March and creates a probabilistic rebound setup. KOSDAQ is likely to fall as a black candle after four consecutive up days, making mean-reversion likely.

KOSPI is likely to rise and close as a white candle after four consecutive down days, because such a streak has not occurred since mid-March and creates a probabilistic rebound setup. KOSDAQ is likely to fall as a black candle after four consecutive up days, making mean-reversion likely.
Choi Ho Vice President 133:46
Ten-year Treasury yield falls below 5%.
The market has already priced the Fed hike and there is no additional upside catalyst for yields, so the US 10-year Treasury yield is likely to close below 5% after the FOMC.
