00:02한국의 정책을 통해 한국의 정책을 통해 한국의 정책을 통해서
00:22지난 5월 5일, 10일, 10일.
00:26한국의 stock market rallied
00:30even as oil prices spiked
00:32and Middle East tensions escalated.
00:34The gains were driven almost entirely
00:36by semiconductor stocks
00:38on hopes that long-term supply deals
00:40with big AI companies
00:42make chip earnings steadier going forward.
00:44At the same time,
00:46individual investors kept pulling money
00:48out of the market
00:49rather than joining the rally.
00:50Here's what the numbers show.
00:52Cosby closed at 7,051.64
00:56up 1.40%,
00:58its first finish above 7,033 trading days.
01:03SK Hynix rose 3.51%
01:06to close at 1,856,001
01:10or roughly 1,340 U.S. dollars.
01:15Individual investors sold 2.29 trillion one
01:18of stock on the day alone,
01:20bringing 5-day retail selling to 16.8 trillion one.
01:24Cash sitting on the sidelines in brokerage accounts
01:27fell to 96.99 trillion one,
01:31below the 100 trillion one mark
01:32for the first time since September 2.
01:34Brent crude touched $100.02 a barrel
01:38after attacks on Saudi oil facilities
01:41and Bank of America warned prices
01:43could reach $150 if the conflict widens.
01:46Bank of Korea data show corporate operating margins
01:49hit a record 16.9% last quarter,
01:52and the improvement held up even after excluding
01:54Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.
01:58So what does this mean for you as a retail investor?
02:01Earlier we said retail investors kept selling
02:04even as the index rallied.
02:05Here's what that actually means for you.
02:08The rally so far has been narrow,
02:10concentrated in semiconductor names,
02:12so broad exposure through an index fund
02:14may not fully capture recent gains.
02:17Rising oil prices add a new cost pressure
02:19that could weigh on companies outside the chip sector.
02:22This is not investment advice,
02:24so treat these as factors to weigh,
02:27not a signal to buy or sell.
02:29Here's what to watch.
02:30First, whether investor cash on the sidelines
02:33recovers back above 100 trillion one
02:35in the coming week.
02:37Second, how Brent crude responds
02:39if Middle East tensions escalate further.
02:43Third, whether semiconductor stocks
02:45can hold their gains once markets react
02:47to the U.S. 10-year Treasury auction,
02:50results on September 11th.
