Ideas
KEPCO benefits from oil, won, rates.
Korea Electric Power stock is less about pure fundamentals and more about nuclear momentum, oil prices, the won and interest rates. KEPCO carries huge debt including dollar-denominated bonds and fuel costs linked to oil, so falling oil, a stronger won and lower rates reduce its cost and debt burden and improve earnings; this tends to support the stock.
Samsung/SK hynix selloff is supply-driven; hold.
The Samsung Electronics and SK hynix selloff is mainly supply-driven, not fundamental: foreign hedge funds that bought over the prior two weeks took leveraged profits, and the shareholder return announcement became sell-the-news. The return package is globally top-tier and will likely exceed Nvidia's next year, so investors should stay calm and hold the names rather than overreact.
Dollar weakness supports commodities and nonferrous stocks.
A weakening dollar is positive for real assets because non-US buyers can acquire more dollar-priced commodities with stronger local currencies. With the economy not broken, demand for copper is strong; gold, copper, oil and Korean nonferrous names such as Poongsan, Korea Zinc and POSCO are reflecting this connected global trend.
Resource-rich emerging markets benefit from commodity strength.
Resource-rich emerging market equity markets, especially Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Chile, have outperformed because many of them are major commodity producers such as Chile for copper. Strong commodity demand and a softer dollar directly improve their terms of trade and equity markets.
Won strengthens toward 1,300; hold won.
The Korean won at 1370 is normalizing back to the 1300 area. Large trade and current account surpluses, the 24-hour FX market opening that crushed offshore NDF speculation, SK hynix ADR-related inflows, and Samsung's huge shareholder return pipeline are creating strong won demand and make aggressive dollar buying difficult; investors should keep holding won.
Buy gold, sell US long Treasuries.
Jackson Hole is more important than Nvidia for the market because it will drive long-term interest rates. Waller is less predictable than Powell and has long opposed QE, so if the Fed does not meet market hopes for long-end bond support, long-term rates may stay elevated and markets could be disappointed; this is worth watching closely.
Nvidia results may not reassure; watch margins.
Nvidia has beaten for four straight quarters but the stock fell the next day each time, partly because huge options positioning unwinds after the event. The key issues are whether the 71% margin can be sustained and whether Jensen Huang can reassure markets on the main concern; even good results may not satisfy a market already inclined to sell.
