Summary

Park Se-ik analyzes global markets focusing on oil prices and US Treasury yields, which are key to the relief rally. He discusses strong domestic equity inflows into Samsung and Hynix due to index weight, and highlights Shinsegae as a tourism beneficiary. Brokerage stocks are presented as a gauge for market sustainability.

  • Oil price failing to break above resistance provides near-term relief for markets.
  • US 10-year yield is testing resistance; further decline would support risk assets.
  • Institutional money flowing into KOSPI systematically buys Samsung and Hynix due to >50% index weight.
  • Shinsegae is rising on expectations of increased foreign tourism to 30 million visitors.
  • Brokerage stocks (Kiwoom, Samsung Securities) must break highs to confirm a sustainable bull market.
  • KOSPI and KOSDAQ technicals remain bullish as they hold key moving averages.
  • Won/dollar and yen/dollar exchange rates show no immediate risk signals.
  • AI infrastructure capex cycle continues, supporting SK Hynix's outlook.

Buy Samsung and Hynix on structural inflows.
Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix dominate the KOSPI200 index with a combined weight over 50%. Institutional money from pension funds and wrap accounts is flowing into equities, forcing these two stocks to be bought first due to index composition. Additionally, SK Hynix benefits from the ongoing AI infrastructure expansion, which continues to grow as confirmed by Nvidia's outlook. This structural inflow provides strong upward support.

Long Shinsegae on tourism growth.
Shinsegae department stores are poised to benefit from the Korean government's goal to increase foreign tourists from 20 million to 30 million. Offline department stores are the biggest beneficiaries of higher tourism, and the stock has been steadily rising with foreign buying support.

Securities stocks confirm bull market.
Brokerage stocks like Kiwoom Securities and Samsung Securities serve as a leading indicator for the market's direction. If the market is in a genuine sustainable uptrend, securities stocks must break their prior highs. If they fail to do so, the current rally is likely a technical bounce. Monitoring their price action is key to confirming the market's strength.
