On July 29, Kim Yong-beom, head of the Policy Office of the South Korean Presidential Office, systematically responded to the causes of the recent sharp decline in the KOSPI index. He pointed out that the current market is undergoing an internal debate on AI investment—on one hand, there are doubts about the commercial sustainability of large-scale capital expenditures by major tech companies, as "semiconductor supply continues to increase, but there is a lack of confidence in whether future demand can persistently absorb it"; on the other hand, the accelerated catch-up of China's semiconductor industry has brought new competitive pressure. News such as ChangXin Memory Technologies' listing and breakthroughs in China's lithography equipment manufacturing technology have prompted the market to reassess whether the competitive gap in South Korea's memory chips remains stable. However, Kim clearly emphasized that AI demand is not temporary, stating that "demand will be robust and sustained." He believes that South Korea should seize this opportunity to accelerate factory construction, make timely investments, and strengthen R&D spending. Addressing the causes of increased volatility in South Korea's domestic market, Kim explicitly stated that leveraged ETFs are not the sole answer. The market structure, where semiconductor and AI-related stocks account for 40% to 50% of the total, the high proportion of derivatives and ETFs, and factors such as investor composition collectively lead to significantly higher volatility compared to overseas markets. Although leveraged ETFs may cause temporary shocks during end-of-day rebalancing, volatility sometimes appears in the morning, and the time distribution alone rules out leveraged ETFs as a single driving factor. Kim recommended that the Financial Services Commission conduct a comprehensive review of the overall structure of the capital market, including leveraged ETFs.

South Korean stocks opened higher but reversed gains on Wednesday, following a more than 10% drop in the previous session, as investors focused on earnings from domestic chipmakers and major U.S. tech companies. The KOSPI index briefly surged over 3% during trading before turning lower, falling more than 1%. The index dropped 10.8% on Tuesday, marking its largest single-day decline since March 4 and its lowest closing level since April 14. "The KOSPI is expected to rebound on bargain hunting, hopes from U.S.-Iran talks, and easing concerns over the Federal Reserve's policy meeting," said Han Ji-young, an analyst at Kiwoom Securities. Han noted that the KOSPI has entered "oversold" territory at record levels, with valuations at historical lows. Chipmaker SK Hynix fell more than 4%, erasing earlier gains of over 4%. Before the market opened, the company reported strong quarterly results but failed to meet high investor expectations driven by the artificial intelligence boom. (Jin Shi)

On July 29, Caixin published an article titled "The Collapse of the Boxing Champion's Balance Sheet," which disclosed that for the six natural-person creditors of boxing champion Zou Shiming and his wife, compared to other losses, funds invested in P2P and virtual currency are the only amounts that still have a possibility of recovery. Real estate has been sold, luxury goods have been discounted, gym renovations have been scrapped, and cross-border projects have been shut down—these are all irreversible sunk costs. But P2P and virtual currency are different: if the platform has not been fully liquidated, or if the wallet address can still be traced, there is theoretically room for subrogation. For example, the Beijing Procuratorate in China once conducted a penetrating review, combined with blockchain big data analysis tools to trace the flow of virtual currency, and successfully recovered over 89 million yuan in illicit funds.

On July 29, Goldman Sachs Japan released its latest strategy report, stating that the recent sharp sell-off in Japan's AI-related stocks has created a buying opportunity, and strong earnings prospects are expected to revive investor interest in semiconductor stocks. The direct catalyst for this assessment came from Intel—the company raised its 2026 capital expenditure outlook by approximately $3 billion and explicitly stated it would significantly increase spending on wafer fabrication equipment. Goldman Sachs believes that Intel's accelerated ramp-up of advanced process technologies (including 18A and 14A nodes) and investment in advanced packaging will directly boost orders for highly correlated Japanese equipment suppliers, and the industry's trading logic has not been broken by the short-term adjustment. Within this framework, Goldman Sachs has listed three Japanese semiconductor manufacturing equipment companies as top picks. Lasertec is designated as the industry's top pick, with a Buy rating and a target price of 70,000 yen, retained on the Asia-Pacific High Conviction List. Its high exposure to Intel sales will directly benefit from the advancement of advanced processes. Tokyo Electron maintains a Buy rating with a target price of 83,000 yen (currently around 62,800 yen). Intel's increased wafer fab equipment budget will support demand for its manufacturing tools. Disco benefits from Intel's plan to expand EMIB-T advanced packaging capacity, with structural support expected for back-end processing equipment demand.

On July 22, according to US media reports, US President Trump said on Tuesday that if Yemen's Houthi rebels impose a blockade on shipping and energy exports from Saudi Arabia, the United States will 'handle the matter.' Speaking at the Oval Office of the White House during a meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, Trump said, 'So far, it hasn't happened. Maybe it will, but we will handle it.' He added, 'If something like that happens, we will take action. We have taken action against the Houthis before, and we haven't heard from them for a while since we initially took measures.'
