Now it's about performance. Our attitude preparing for July | Myung Min-jun, Park Ga-young, Hwang Yoo-hyun [Stock Beginner Rescue Team]

Summary

The episode discusses extreme volatility in the Korean stock market driven by leveraged ETFs and month-end rebalancing, focusing on SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics. Hwang Yoo-hyun of Shinhan Investment Securities argues the AI uptrend for these leaders is intact and presents a buy-on-dip strategy with specific price levels. He also highlights semiconductor front-end equipment stocks as relative strength plays and previews a potential sector rotation into beaten-down large-caps in July.

• SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics remain core AI beneficiaries; 30% pullback from highs is seen as a low-risk entry.
• Leveraged ETF trading has amplified intraday swings even in mega-cap Korean tech names.
• Month-end institutional and pension fund selling is expected to fade in July, potentially stabilizing the market.
• Other large-cap sectors (shipbuilding, autos, power equipment) have fallen sharply and may rebound if rotation materializes.
• Semiconductor front-end equipment makers (PSK, TES, Eugene Tech, etc.) are benefiting from capex and showing strength.
• Earnings catalysts ahead: Samsung (July 7), TSMC (July 16), Hynix (July 29), with expectations supporting sentiment.
• Retail investors are advised to manage position sizes and avoid emotional trading during the whipsaw environment.
