Summary

Curator Park Myung-suk reviews an overnight US stock market rally fueled by AI and semiconductor optimism. Meta soared after revealing plans to double computing power, launch its own AI chip, and sign long-term supply contracts, effectively reversing recent capex fears. The semiconductor sector saw record one-day fund inflows, while strong memory sales data and bullish AMAT CEO comments reinforced the bull case. SK Hynix's ADR listing is generating exceptional demand. Cybersecurity stocks continue to hit new highs as the AI agent theme expands, and Apple is stepping up its AI efforts with iPhone 17 enhancements. Gold is expected to rise on rate-hike avoidance, while geopolitical tensions around Iran eased, pulling oil lower.

Meta plans to double computing power to 14GW by next year and launch its own AI chip, dispelling capex fears and sparking a sharp rally.
Long-term supply contracts with Samsung, SanDisk, and Sumitomo Electric confirm Meta's AI infrastructure buildout.
Record $7.1B flowed into semiconductor ETFs on Tuesday, the largest single-day inflow since the fund's launch in 2001, signaling a strong sector bottom.
June memory sales (DRAM +31.7%, NAND +40.7%) hit all-time highs, with UBS projecting price increases and shortages through mid-2028, benefiting Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix.
SK Hynix's ADR listing is 7x oversubscribed at $149 per share, highlighting strong foreign demand for Korean memory exposure.

Meta dispels AI capex fears, doubles compute.

Meta is dispelling capex concerns by announcing plans to double computing power to 14GW by next year, launching its own AI chip (Iris) in September co-designed with Broadcom, signing long-term supply contracts with Samsung (memory), SanDisk (storage), Sumitomo Electric (fiber optics), and releasing Muse Spark 1.1 with aggressive pricing. The company is seen as a credible leader in AI, with several analysts upgrading their view and including Meta in top investment ideas. Meta is also developing AI-optimized smart glasses, signaling a push into physical AI devices.

Apple finally moves on AI with Prism ML.

Apple is finally accelerating its AI strategy by discussing the use of Prism ML’s compression technology to enhance iPhone AI features for iPhone 17. This signals that Apple is serious about joining the AI race, addressing the market’s long-standing frustration about Apple missing the AI train, and could expand the overall AI market.

Record fund inflows signal semiconductor bottom.

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) is recovering from its 60-day moving average after a record one-day capital inflow into semiconductor ETFs of $7.1 billion, the largest since inception in 2001. This indicates a massive bet on the sector rebound. Combined with AMAT CEO’s forecast of a multi-year semiconductor boom, strong June memory sales data, and SK Hynix ADR listing demand, the setup points to a sustained semiconductor upcycle.

Memory chip boom driven by AI demand.

Memory chip sales surged in June (DRAM +31.7% MoM, NAND +40.7% MoM) hitting record levels. UBS expects sharp price increases and shortages through mid-2028, naming Micron, Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and SanDisk as the biggest beneficiaries. This supports a bullish view on memory stocks even as some analysts argue price growth could slow, but the overall demand trajectory from AI remains intact.

Cybersecurity stocks break out on AI agents.

As enterprise AI agents accelerate, demand for cybersecurity software is surging. Stocks like CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Fortinet are making consecutive new highs because businesses cannot secure AI workloads on their own and need dedicated security platforms. This is a direct beneficiary of the AI agent wave and is seen as the next phase of the AI revolution.
