US Market Analysis and Korean Market Daily Briefing — 2026-11-11
Overview of the Previous US Market
On the previous day (local time November 9), Wall Street's three major indexes opened lower as a higher-than-expected October Consumer Price Index (CPI) and comments from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller dampened investor sentiment. Specifically, inflation data and remarks from Fed officials stoked concerns over potential interest rate hikes, pulling down the S&P 500. Additionally, reports and investigations regarding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's alleged ties to Chinese espionage weighed negatively on the broader semiconductor sector, driving share prices lower.
Key Themes and Issues in the Korean Market
The core themes to watch in the Korean market today are semiconductors, aviation, and data centers (DCs). Although lingering aftershocks from last week's "Black Friday" plunge remain, excessive worries have washed out, highlighting valuation appeal and driving a simultaneous surge across these three themes. In particular, the semiconductor sector attempted a rebound centered around the top two KOSPI stocks, though issues surrounding CEO Jensen Huang dragged it down, creating an unstable trend. Due to uncertainties over the profitability of the global artificial intelligence (AI) industry, US political variables, and foreign exchange market impacts, a fierce battle is expected to defend the KOSPI 5000 mark.
Featured Stocks to Watch Today
In connection with the themes identified above, the following stocks deserve attention:
- Samsung Electronics (005930) and SK Hynix (000660): KB Asset Management projected that the combined operating profit of the two companies will reach 170 to 190 trillion won in 2026, while Shinyoung Securities similarly forecasts they will account for over 35% of total KOSPI earnings. Alongside their highlighted valuation appeal, they are classified as structural growth stocks.
- Aviation and DC Theme Related Stocks: Alongside semiconductors, aviation and data center (DC) themes are surging together, emerging as market leaders. Falling oil prices and expectations of increased demand for AI infrastructure appear to be driving this momentum.
