Today's Economy and Stock Market Issues
The domestic stock market started strong on the 10th, successfully rebounding. The Kospi rose about 5% compared to the previous day, attempting to reclaim the 5000 mark. This is a partial recovery from the sharp drop last week caused by concerns over artificial intelligence (AI) data center regulations and foreign selling.
Wall Street also closed higher across major indices, driven by falling oil prices and bargain hunting. Notably, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) jumped 4.21%, while AMD and Intel surged 11.04% and 7.71%, respectively, leading the recovery in the semiconductor sector.
However, market experts tend to view this rebound as a technical bounce rather than a trend reversal. NH Investment & Securities maintains its outlook for a November base rate hike, predicting that the Bank of Korea will stick to its tightening stance despite the stock market drop. Additionally, Hana Securities pointed out that true market stability can only be achieved once foreign investor inflows stabilize, even with the rebound in Taiwan's market.
Tonight's release of the U.S. October Consumer Price Index (CPI) and news regarding Nvidia are considered key variables that will determine the direction of risk appetite.
Political and Policy Trends
Presiding over a Cabinet meeting on the 10th, President Lee Jae-myung instructed officials to meticulously prepare countermeasures for expected changes in the international environment following the U.S. midterm elections. With the U.S. Democratic Party taking control of both the Senate and the House, shifts in the Trump administration's policy stance and the potential for tighter AI regulations have emerged as major variables.
A dinner meeting is scheduled for the 11th between President Lee Jae-myung and Democratic Party leadership, including Kim Min-seok and Han Byung-do. The meeting is expected to feature in-depth discussions on major political issues, such as the direction of real estate tax reform, special counsel investigations, and state audits.
