Summary

In this episode, hosts Myung Min-jun and Seo Su-jin speak with Yoo Chang-hee, CEO, about a sharp Korean market selloff driven by AI speed-control worries, rising oil, and high US Treasury yields. Yoo argues the AI speed-control and regulation scare is mostly noise, but he recommends reducing equity exposure until the FOMC, BOJ, and BOE events confirm whether long-end yields will calm. He remains constructive on semiconductors and wants to buy before Chuseok only after rate-event confirmation, while flagging Hyundai Motor as a broken trend and outlining a conditional Clarity Act/Treasury setup.

  • Korean equities sold off as AI speed-control fears, oil above $100, and high US yields hit large caps.
  • Yoo says AI speed-control and regulation concerns are overdone and do not mean AI capex is being cut.
  • He recommends cutting equity exposure by 20-30% now if investors are over-allocated and cannot distinguish broken trends.
  • Semiconductors are his preferred rebound area once rate noise clears, with SK hynix as a dip-buy candidate.
  • He wants to wait for FOMC, BOJ, and BOE before buying Korean equities, with next Monday or Tuesday as a key check.
  • Hyundai Motor and autos are in the broken-trend bucket to reduce first.
  • He also discusses a conditional Clarity Act scenario that could support US Treasuries.
  • The episode includes promotional segments for food gifts.
Ideas
Reduce equity exposure, raise cash now
He warns against buying just because the Fed, BOJ, and BOE decisions arrive. A Fed hike is likely priced, so a hike-related dip would be a buy, but the key is whether long-end Treasury yields calm down. If they do not, he would delay buying until at least Friday afternoon or next Monday/Tuesday; if they do, he still wants to buy Korean equities before Chuseok.
WTI above $100 is risk trigger
He uses WTI as a margin line: above $100, and from the high $90s for risk management, oil can shock the market. Oil has now risen back above $102 on Middle East/Hormuz and Saudi strike news, so he is watching it as a key risk trigger rather than a clean long.
US 10-year 5% is risk line
He sees the US 10-year Treasury yield around 5% as a psychological margin line; above 5% can cause a market shock, while above 5.2% may mark the peak of the shock because the adjustment has already happened. Yields near 4.96-4.97% are already uncomfortable and justify risk management.
Buy SK hynix dip near 1.5M
Foreign investors sold about KRW 19tn in five sessions and then bought nearly KRW 8tn in three sessions, mostly in Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. He does not want to chase those flows and prefers to wait for them to stabilize before buying.
Avoid Hyundai Motor on broken trend
Hyundai Motor and auto-related names are in the chart category he would reduce first: the trend had already been weakening for two weeks, Trump's comment about allowing Chinese automakers into the US is a burden, and Hyundai is losing European share. The news broke the stock lower.
AI speed-control fear is noise
He dismisses the AI speed-control and regulation scare as noise: AI is a winner-takes-all race, regulation would take years, and none of the major players have said they will cut AI investment. AI-related semiconductor stocks, including Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, have already fallen enough on this issue; when rate noise resolves, semiconductors should lead.
US indices look technically fragile
He says US equity technicals are deteriorating: Nasdaq futures have broken their trend after a four-day decline and one-day bounce, while the S&P 500 is barely holding support. With no clear support below, further volatility is likely, so he is cautious on US indices near term.
Wait for Samsung/SK hynix flows
Foreign investors sold about KRW 19tn in five sessions and then bought nearly KRW 8tn in three sessions, mostly in Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. He does not want to chase those flows and prefers to wait for them to stabilize before buying.
Clarity Act could stabilize Treasuries
He outlines a conditional Clarity Act setup: if it passes, stablecoin issuers would be required to buy short-term US Treasuries, letting the government sell T-bills and buy long bonds, which could stabilize Treasury yields. He thinks passage is unlikely and cannot forecast it, so this is a monitoring setup rather than a base-case trade.
