Samsung Electronics 1 Trillion Won Sell-Off in Closing Auction – Why Did Foreigners Dump It? / Why KOSDAQ Suddenly Plunged | CEO Lee Ju-hyeon

Summary

The video discusses the day's sharp market drop in Korea, driven by hawkish FOMC minutes, stalled US-Iran peace talks, and fear of oil-driven inflation. Foreign investors sold a massive block of Samsung Electronics in the closing auction, likely due to options expiry and weekend hedging rather than fundamental bearishness. Despite the weakness, Lee Ju-hyeon argues the KOSPI uptrend remains intact and the AI-driven rally in Samsung Electronics and SK hynix will continue, with significant upside to 2027 target prices. He highlights glass substrate and gaming sectors, naming J&TC and NC Soft as stocks to watch for a potential rebound.

• KOSPI and KOSDAQ suffered sharp losses, with KOSDAQ plunging 3.4% as selling concentrated in the closing auction.
• Key drivers: hawkish FOMC stance on rates and the US-Iran peace talk impasse, which rekindled Middle East tension and oil price fears.
• Foreigners dumped 1 trillion won of Samsung Electronics in the final auction, but the move is attributed to options expiry and weekend hedging rather than a trend change.
• Lee remains bullish on KOSPI, citing strong technicals and eventual resolution of geopolitical noise.
• He sees Samsung Electronics and SK hynix as core AI-era holdings with large remaining upside to their 2027 target guidance.
• Glass substrate (J&TC) and gaming (NC Soft) are highlighted as sectors that could rebound if semiconductor momentum resumes.
• Key Monday checkpoints: outcome of US-Iran talks, foreign flow direction, and whether the KOSPI can sustain its uptrend.
