This milestone serves as a reminder that the AI investment boom has shifted to the infrastructure sector, benefiting South Korean chipmakers at the heart of the industrys supply chain. South Korea has positioned itself as a core supplier to global industry leaders such as Nvidia. Yiping Liao, portfolio manager at Franklin Templeton Global Investments, stated, "South Korea is highly concentrated in specific segments of the technology supply chain, and the astonishing surge in Hynix and Samsungs stock prices appears to be due to an unprecedented shortage of memory chips." Simon Woo, head of South Korea research at Bank of America Global Research in Seoul, predicts the memory chip supercycle will continue until 2027, stating, "Memory chips have become a key strategic asset for US tech giants, a stark contrast to earlier cycles when memory was merely seen as a disposable component for PCs and smartphones. This shift elevates the status of the memory industry." Timothy Moe, chief Asia-Pacific equity strategist at Goldman Sachs, expects the semiconductor industry to contribute approximately 60% of South Korean stock earnings growth this year.

Following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's travel to Taiwan to support Taiwan's local government despite China's wishes, tensions between the US and China have increased. In reaction to the death threats made against Pelosi during her private travel to Taiwan, the US is anticipated to adopt sanctions against China, which encouraged the gloomy market sentiment.

 

In the meanwhile, the DXY has achieved a three-day high of 106.55, although the gain may wane ahead of Friday's US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data. According to market expectations, the U.S. economy added 250,000 jobs to the labor force in July.
