Global 'K-shaped divergence': 'Silicon-based inflation' vs. 'carbon-based deflation'—will bubbles burst after extreme compression?

Zheshang Securities believes the global economy is currently undergoing a clear 'K-shaped divergence': prices across the AI supply chain are rising across the board, and 'silicon-based inflation' is spreading globally—U.S. semiconductor producer price index (PPI) has hit a record high, while South Korea’s memory chip prices have surged nearly tenfold this year. Simultaneously, 'carbon-based deflation' is deepening in parallel—as AI-driven job displacement continues to dampen consumer confidence. If this polarization persists through 2027 and downstream AI profitability fails to materialize, it could trigger a burst of the AI bubble—not only posing risks to tech stocks but also spilling over into the creditworthiness of the U.S. dollar and Treasury securities.

Follow retail investors! Goldman Sachs: Local retail investors are underpinning the current Asian equity market rebound.

Goldman Sachs believes that domestic retail investors are becoming a key marginal pricing force in Asian equity markets. While South Korea’s market has seen $62 billion in foreign outflows, it has still posted cumulative gains of over 80%, with domestic capital largely absorbing the selling pressure. Moreover, although current leverage levels remain elevated, they have not yet reached extreme levels and do not pose a systemic risk. The foreign outflows reflect portfolio rebalancing rather than bearish sentiment, and multi-dimensional support from retail participation remains a core pillar of the market.
