Summary

Hwang Yuhyun, PB Team Leader at Shinhan Investment, reviews a highly volatile session where the KOSPI surged over 5% only to close nearly flat. He interprets heavy foreign buying of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix as a bottoming signal and advises buying any dip triggered by Google's earnings. Hwang also warns that leveraged ETFs are dangerous in choppy markets and recommends reducing such positions in favor of margin trading.

  • KOSPI opened with a 5% surge but ended barely higher, reflecting aggressive profit-taking and lingering leveraged ETF volatility.
  • Foreign investors bought over 3.5 trillion won, especially SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics, which Hwang sees as accumulation and a bottoming process.
  • Hwang expects market stabilization within about two weeks as leveraged ETF adjustment period ends and margin balances decline.
  • He identifies KOSPI 6,500 as a key support area and projects a 30% technical rebound to 7,400-7,500 if the bottom holds.
  • The main buy idea is Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix on any weakness related to Google's earnings or broader fear, with specific price targets mentioned.
  • Leveraged ETFs are cited as dangerous in range-bound markets due to daily decay, and investors are urged to swap them for traditional margin trading.
  • Upcoming catalysts include Google's earnings, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix quarterly reports, and potential shareholder return announcements.
  • Overall posture is cautiously bullish on these mega-cap memory stocks, with a plan to stop-loss if the KOSPI 6,400 support breaks.

Avoid Korean leveraged ETFs now
In a volatile, range-bound market where large daily swings are common, leveraged ETFs suffer from daily compounding decay. If the consolidation period extends, losses from decay accelerate even without large directional moves. Investors should sell or reduce leveraged ETF positions and instead use traditional margin trading if leverage is desired, because margin does not suffer from daily path-dependent losses and only incurs interest costs, provided collateral ratios are managed carefully.

Buy dips on Samsung and SK Hynix
Despite a sharp intraday reversal, foreign investors aggressively accumulated Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, buying over 3.5 trillion won, which signals the market is forming a bottom. The impact of leveraged ETF selling is set to wane in about two weeks as the adjustment period ends, margin balances have declined to healthier levels, and upcoming earnings reports are expected to be strong. The stocks have fallen 40% from highs, creating attractive value. Any further drop driven by Google's earnings or external jitters should be used as a buying opportunity, targeting a 30% technical rebound to around KRW 290,000 for Samsung Electronics and KRW 210,000 for SK Hynix, with a stop-loss consideration if the KOSPI 6,400 level breaks decisively.
