On July 14, the volatility in the Korean stock market has intensified recently, leading to a concentrated exposure of leveraged trading risks. According to data from the Korea Financial Investment Association's FreeSIS, the total actual reverse transactions implemented by Korean securities companies for unpaid amounts during last week (July 6 to July 10) amounted to approximately 324.095 billion won. This is about 32% higher than the average of the previous five weeks, which was around 244.921 billion won, marking a significantly elevated pressure week. Compared to the relatively calm week of June 15 to June 19, last week's figure was about five times larger. Looking at daily data, the forced liquidation pressure in the Korean stock market last week surged notably on July 9, with actual reverse transactions reaching approximately 142.197 billion won, accounting for 10.2% of the unpaid amount, the highest for the week. On July 10, the amount remained around 81.613 billion won, representing 5.7%. The three preceding trading days recorded 39.698 billion won, 31.741 billion won, and 28.846 billion won, respectively. The term 'reverse transaction' refers to the mandatory sale of stocks by securities firms when investors fail to replenish funds after buying stocks on margin or with unsettled funds. This data does not equate to the 'number of liquidated positions' but reflects the scale of passive clearing of leveraged accounts during market downturns. Analysts believe that when stock indices experience consecutive corrections and individual stock declines widen, margin accounts and short-term trading accounts are more likely to trigger margin calls or forced selling pressures. If market sentiment continues to weaken, reverse transactions may further amplify intraday volatility, creating a chain reaction of 'decline, forced liquidation, and further decline.'

On July 14, HSBC analysts stated in a research report that it may be premature to worry about the peak of the memory cycle. The analysts believe that as agentic AI enhances office productivity and reshapes workflows, the memory super cycle may continue. The continuously improving profit margins of AI services continue to support strong cloud spending, and hyperscalers are unlikely to slow down the pace of computing power expansion as they compete for the rapidly growing market. With the gradual introduction of the next-generation high-bandwidth memory HBM4 into the market, the upward trend in HBM product prices is expected to continue. Given SK Hynix's significant exposure to HBM, HSBC prefers SK Hynix among South Korean tech stocks. HSBC expects that after HBM4 achieves mass adoption in 2027, SK Hynix's share of the HBM market is still likely to remain at around 50% to 55%. (Jin10)

On July 14, the U.S. Department of Labor will release the June CPI data at 20:30 Beijing time today, including the June unadjusted CPI year-on-year rate (previous: 4.20%, expected: 3.80%), the seasonally adjusted CPI month-on-month rate (previous: 0.5%, expected: -0.1%), as well as the June seasonally adjusted core CPI month-on-month rate and unadjusted core CPI month-on-month rate, which may trigger market volatility. Federal Reserve Governor Waller stated that if future data indicates inflation remains well above the 2% target, the Fed may need to raise interest rates "in the near term." He noted that current monetary policy is at a "crossroads." This direction will be determined by new information such as the CPI report released on Tuesday; if data trends show adverse changes, the Fed is in a stage where it should not "slack off." "Fed Whisperer" Nick Timiraos said that economists expect the decline in energy prices last month to drag down the overall CPI in June. However, for the Fed, the core indicator is now more important. Core CPI is expected to be close to May's 0.21% (month-on-month); subsequently, market attention will shift to PPI and the implications of PPI trends for PCE. Investinglive analyst Eamonn Sheridan stated that the U.S. June consumer price index is expected to decrease by 0.2% month-on-month, which would be the first decline since the pandemic, driven entirely by a 15% drop in gasoline prices from mid-May to the end of June; the annual inflation rate is expected to slow from 4.2% in May to 3.8%. Core CPI is expected to rise by 0.2% month-on-month, and the annual core inflation rate is expected to edge down only from 2.9% in May to 2.8%.
