Silver rallies with precious metals complex
Silver rose 7% as the precious-metals rally continued alongside gold.
Venezuela supply may pressure oil lower
Oil barely rallied on Venezuela, and long-term development of Venezuela's large reserves could pressure crude prices lower.
Copper hits records; watch related stocks
Copper repeatedly hit record highs and copper-related stocks should be watched.
Chevron and Schlumberger gain from Venezuela rebuild
US policy aims to reopen Venezuela's oil sector; Chevron is the only remaining oil-infrastructure operator there, while oil-service names like Schlumberger may have greater upside.

Space stocks rally on Starlink catalyst
Space-related shares rallied; AST SpaceMobile jumped on Starlink service for Venezuela, while Planet Labs also stayed strong.
Bitcoin benefits from inflows and weak dollar
Bitcoin pushed toward $95,000 on renewed ETF inflows, BofA 1-4% allocation guidance, dollar weakness and geopolitical hedge demand.
Circle approval strengthens USDC infrastructure
Circle received conditional trust-bank approval, strengthening the USDC stablecoin infrastructure and its ability to monetize reserves.
Coinbase gains from USDC ecosystem growth
Coinbase rose with Circle's trust-bank approval and USDC linkage; Goldman Sachs is positive on its improving monetization structure.
DRAM shortage lifts Samsung and SK hynix
AI GPU/ASIC demand is driving a server DRAM shortage; Samsung and SK hynix lifted server DRAM quotes 60-70%, BofA raised SK hynix's target to 1,000,000 KRW, and memory tightness may last into 2027-28.
TSMC benefits from GPU and ASIC orders
Goldman Sachs positive coverage and record-high shares reflect TSMC's position as the sole foundry for GPU and ASIC leaders; pricing power depends on Nvidia versus Broadcom/Google orders.
ASIC growth matches GPUs by 2027
Goldman expects ASIC volumes to match GPU volumes by 2027 as Google TPU, Amazon Trainium and Broadcom-designed custom chips grow; memory demand remains tied to both.
AI racks lift power and Bloom Energy
Foxconn's AI rack growth and UBS's 800V data-center power call point to rising power/connectivity demand; UBS highlighted Bloom Energy as a provider of such power solutions.
Tesla pullback is buying opportunity
Tesla rebounded after seven down days; Cantor Fitzgerald viewed the pullback as a buying opportunity with FSD China/Europe, robotaxi, and Cybercab catalysts ahead.
Hong Kong Exchange wins IPO boom
Hong Kong was the top global IPO venue and China is using a two-track listing strategy; HKEX benefits as foreign investors return and Chinese companies list in Hong Kong.
Buy China's advanced manufacturing exporters
China's market-cap mix is shifting toward advanced manufacturing, exporters and AI tech; policy favors supply-chain and export champions, so top Chinese manufacturing/export companies can re-rate.
BYD needs restructuring before new highs
BYD's exports are strong but domestic price wars and subsidy cuts require industry restructuring; the stock may not break upward meaningfully this year, though BYD and Xiaomi should survive.
SK hynix preferred for HBM competitiveness
He personally prefers SK hynix over Samsung because of HBM competitiveness, even though Samsung may have more stock upside from unresolved optionality.
Hyundai Motor wins on Atlas robots

Shinsegae AliBaba deal may hurt retail
Shinsegae's AliBaba MOU may make Gmarket a route for Chinese goods into Korea, increasing Chinese e-commerce penetration and pressuring domestic retail; keep watching.
AI capex lifts semiconductor equipment names
AI data-center capex plus aged-equipment replacement drove ASML, Applied Materials and Lam Research sharply higher; semiconductor equipment should benefit.
KOSPI not expensive; upside remains
KOSPI's forward P/E around 10.2x is not expensive; EPS upgrades from Samsung/SK hynix can support 4,600-5,000, though a short-term pullback is possible.
SMR and power semis get tax support
Korea is considering designating SMR and power semiconductors as national strategic technologies with tax support, adding policy momentum to nuclear/power semis.
Solid-state battery commercialization hopes rise
Hyundai produced vehicle-installable solid-state battery prototypes at its pilot line; solid-state battery developers rallied on commercialization hopes.
Korean defense earnings rebound continues
Hanwha Aerospace, Hyundai Rotem, LIG Nex1 and Korea Aerospace are expected to grow 2026 operating profit about 20% to KRW 6.6tn after already doubling; defense was oversold and is rebounding.
Buy Korean semiconductor leaders on dips
Foreign inflows into a weak-won Korea should target market-cap leaders; AI memory expectations and sold-out HBM support Samsung/SK hynix; buy leading stocks on dips.
Weak won benefits Korean exporters
The won's real effective exchange rate is likely to stay weak like China's, which benefits Korean export companies.
Avoid Hallyu; favor exporters instead
China reopening/Hallyu beneficiaries like entertainment, cosmetics, leisure and duty-free are overpriced and uncertain; weak-won effects favor exporters/semiconductors instead.
PharmaResearch exports drive record earnings
December filler exports jumped sharply, mostly from PharmaResearch; Q4 operating profit may hit a record and the stock looks oversold.
Power equipment looks expensive versus semis
Power-equipment names such as HD Hyundai Electric, Hyosung Heavy and LS Electric trade near 26x forward P/E and lack the relative momentum of semiconductors/equipment.
Korean financials gain from market boom
US financials are being re-rated as AI efficiency beneficiaries; Korean securities and banks should benefit from high KOSPI turnover, and Mirae Asset Securities has SpaceX investment gains.
Tiered allocation favors nuclear and defense
For balanced exposure, prioritize nuclear/defense/power equipment as first tier and bio/auto/robots as second tier, while keeping a semiconductor core and cash buffer.

Crypto breaks highs if policy passes
If liquidity continues and 1Q policy catalysts such as the Clarity Act and Ethereum staking pass, Bitcoin and Ethereum should break prior highs; otherwise the wait may extend 2-3 years.
Korean stablecoin law lifts related stocks
Korea's digital asset basic law allowing bank-led stablecoin consortia and tech-company shareholders should revive Korean stablecoin and digital-asset-related stocks.
Strategy faces MSCI and mNAV risk
Strategy's convertible/preferred model can survive an 80% Bitcoin drop given 6.6x collateral, but MSCI deletion risk in January and a near-1 mNAV make the stock less attractive; watch Jan 16.
US financials win from deregulation and AI
Trump deregulation and AI-driven efficiency are re-rating US financials, while stablecoin/tokenization infrastructure offers new fee streams.
Bitmine becomes Ethereum institutional platform
Bitmine controls about 3% of Ethereum and is building institutional Ethereum staking infrastructure; it can earn from holdings, infrastructure and staking, and may surpass Strategy.

AI power demand and US nuclear/SMR permitting progress, plus Korea's SMR strategic-tech push, make the power/nuclear selloff an opportunity.
Mirae Asset gains from SpaceX stake
Mirae Asset Securities rose on reports that its SpaceX investment gains will sharply boost earnings; SpaceX-related financial holdings gained.

Coupang's data breach led to user attrition while Naver's MAU rose about 10%, creating a reverse-benefit e-commerce expectation.
HYBE leads on artist comeback catalysts
Korea-China cultural exchange news helps entertainment, but the better thesis is BTS/Blackpink/EXO/Big Bang activity; HYBE is the top pick with chart support at the 5-day line.
Cosmetics may lag semiconductor leadership
