On July 6, analysts at Société Générale stated in a report that the Japanese government may further intervene to support the yen, but a sustained recovery of the currency requires an improvement in growth prospects. Japan still has approximately $1.3 trillion in foreign exchange reserves available to defend the yen, but the current low growth expectations are likely to limit the currency's gains. However, they noted that the significant rise in the Japanese stock market indicates that the country's economy may be on the verge of improvement. Société Générale predicts that by the end of the year, the USD/JPY exchange rate will drop to 157, and by the second quarter of 2027, it will fall to 154.

On July 6, SK Hynix officially launched its marketing process for its U.S. IPO this Monday, aiming to leverage investors' sustained enthusiasm for the memory chip sector to advance its listing in the U.S. According to the filing documents, SK Hynix plans to issue approximately 17.79 million shares corresponding to American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), with an estimated offering size of around $28 billion based on last Friday's closing price in the Korean market.

On July 6, Goldman Sachs released a report indicating that the Korean stock market is expected to experience a rally in the second half of the year, likely spreading from AI storage leaders like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix to more sectors such as energy, materials, and industrial manufacturing. Foreign capital is gradually positioning itself along the AI industry chain and other independent investment opportunities. In response to market concerns about a potential bubble in Korean stocks, Goldman Sachs believes that the current increase in financing balance is primarily due to the growth in leveraged ETF net value, rather than new borrowing by investors. Korean residents' assets are still predominantly in real estate, cash, and overseas stocks, suggesting that the local stock market still has room for incremental capital inflow. Goldman Sachs forecasts that the overall net profit of Korean companies will grow by about 320% year-on-year by 2026, with a continued growth rate of around 35% in 2027. They maintain a target of 12,000 points for the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) over the next 12 months, indicating more than a 20% upside from current levels, although they expect increased market volatility moving forward.
