South Korean equities are poised for a bottom-fishing opportunity: foreign selling has slowed, the won has strengthened, and the KOSPI 200 valuation has dropped to the 1st percentile of its ten-year history.

The South Korean stock market has reached a dual turning point in terms of valuation and technicals following deleveraging and concentrated selling by foreign investors. On September 8, the Korean stock index broke through its short-term downtrend line and closed above the 50-day moving average for the first time. The forward P/E ratio of the KOSPI 200 stands at only 6.2x, placing it at the 1st percentile of its ten-year historical range. Analysts believe this extreme discount provides substantial downside protection.

Unwinding of Yen Carry Trades: Currently localized, but monitor yen interest rate volatility.

Key View: Heightened volatility in Japanese yen interest rates has triggered localized unwinding of carry trades, but this has not yet escalated into a broad market shock. The yen recently appreciated rapidly against the U.S. dollar to the 152 level, accompanied by a surge in the volatility of three-month versus one-year yen swap options to +3σ highs, comparable to levels seen during the yen carry trade shock in August 2024 and the tariff shock in April 2025. This volatility stems primarily from market expectations of hawkish rate hikes by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) and uncertainty surrounding foreign exchange policy. Although CTA funds have reduced their long positions in USD/JPY by approximately 60%, unwinding of yen carry trades in other currency pairs remains limited.

When will the U.S. stock market's artificial intelligence bubble burst?

In late summer 2026, the global AI sector experienced a significant phased correction, with core AI concept stocks declining approximately 20% from their June highs. Heightened volatility in the sector and increasingly cautious investor sentiment have reignited intense market debate over whether the “AI bubble” is on the verge of bursting. An analytical article in Barron’s points out that while capital expenditure bubbles surrounding transformative technologies eventually subside, the timing of their burst often lags behind general market expectations. Based on historical investment thresholds, the probability of a comprehensive short-term collapse of the current AI boom remains low. This historical perspective may alleviate short-term panic, but it cannot obscure the structural risks present in the current market. This article argues that AI technology possesses

South Korean stocks surged 22%, yet market participation remained virtually nonexistent.

Driven by both technical factors and capital flows, the South Korean stock market has completed a rare, rapid rebound. However, hedge funds were notably absent from this rally, creating potential for further upside driven by fear of missing out (FOMO). The KOSPI Index rose approximately 10% over just three trading sessions, marking a cumulative rebound of more than 22% from its low on July 30 and formally entering technical bull market territory. This is the first time the index has reached this threshold since its historic plunge in July. Meanwhile, volatility has nearly halved, foreign investors and domestic institutions have continued net buying, and market sentiment has clearly stabilized. However, hedge funds have currently significantly reduced their positions.

‘AI Stock Oracle’s Margin Call’ and ‘Historic Collapse of Korean Equities’: Seemingly ‘Accidental,’ but Actually ‘Inevitable’? Deutsche Bank: This Is a Dress Rehearsal for the Future

Markets quickly absorbed the blow-up of the 'AI stock oracle' and the sharp plunge in South Korean equities, returning to calm after brief turbulence. However, Deutsche Bank argues that these two events are not isolated or coincidental; rather, they represent a concentrated manifestation of systemic leverage accumulated over more than a decade of ultra-low interest rates. As interest rates normalize, traditional safe-haven assets lose their effectiveness, and the Federal Reserve actively introduces uncertainty, 'small volatility' events will occur with greater frequency—and each could serve as a trigger for a larger crisis.

"Black July" ended with two consecutive gains—has 'AI trading' hit bottom?

Most analysts believe that the most intense phase of sector rotation has passed, following a sharp pullback in momentum stocks and a partial valuation correction among leading AI companies. However, they also emphasized that this does not mean a precise market bottom has been confirmed. JPMorgan recommends overweighting quality factors, while Goldman Sachs highlights risks associated with long-end interest rates and advises maintaining highly liquid and low-complexity positions.

Retail investors—dubbed the 'army of ants'—have flooded into leveraged ETFs, plunging South Korea's stock market into an unprecedented cycle of volatility.

This year, South Korea's stock market surged amid the AI boom, with volatility exceeding 60%—even higher than Bitcoin—and triggered circuit breakers nine times. The extreme fluctuations stemmed from exceptionally high index concentration: two semiconductor giants account for more than half of the KOSPI's weight, compounded by the herd behavior of retail investors ('ant army'), who flocked to buy highly leveraged, single-stock ETFs, significantly amplifying market swings and structural fragility.

South Korea plans to inject USD 14 billion into its sovereign wealth fund, betting on AI and data centers.

According to a government statement, the newly established special-purpose account will be housed within KIC’s existing structure, with an initial size of no less than KRW 20 trillion, funded through equity contributions from public institutions including policy banks. The most symbolic aspect of this adjustment is that KIC’s investment mandate will, for the first time, be extended to domestic assets.

CLSA: Korean equities are nearing a bottom; investors should await government measures.

CLSA noted in a report that the KOSPI index has plunged 44% from its peak to trough, with the KOSDAQ index falling even more sharply by 49%. The firm observed signs of retail investor capitulation, as assets under management in leveraged ETFs declined from USD 11.5 billion at their peak on June 25 to USD 4.6 billion by July 29. CLSA stated that such declines would typically occur only in the event of systemic risk, but believes the current correction is primarily driven by leveraged ETFs and newly entered retail investors exacerbating market volatility. Given that the current downturn appears largely disconnected from fundamentals, CLSA argues that government intervention is necessary to help the market find a bottom.
