Reflecting expectations for next year’s’semiconductor supercycle’

Three trading days before the stock market closes this year, the KOSPI broke even the 2800 line. The 2800 is the high point that most securities companies set as a target that can be reached when the stock market rises next year until last month.

On the 24th, KOSPI finished trading at 2806.86, up 47.04 points (1.70%) from the previous trading day. It is the first time ever to have crossed the 2800 line. Kospi, which had been flat at the beginning of the market, increased its rise in the afternoon. The KOSDAQ also ended at 928.68, up 5.51 points (0.60%) from the previous day.

On this day, Samsung Electronics, the number one market capitalization, led the index increase. Samsung Electronics finished the market at 77,800 won, up 5.28% from the previous trading day. Report it. In addition, SK Hynix, the second place in the market cap, rose 1.72% to 118,000 won. In anticipation that a semiconductor supercycle (super boom) will come next year, semiconductor stocks such as Samsung Electronics are working harder at the end of the year. There is also a side in which expectations have been reflected in the stock price ahead of the earnings release in early January of next year. Sang-young Seo, director of investment strategy at Kiwoom Securities, said, “As Apple recently surged in the US and boosted the NASDAQ market, in Korea, if Samsung Electronics jumps by 5%, the stock index will rise.”

Among investors, institutions and foreigners led the market with net buying. On this day, institutional investors net bought 6319 billion won, and foreigners also bought 111.7 billion won. On the other hand, individual investors made profits by net selling worth of 75 billion won. It is analyzed that foreign investment funds are inflow as the preference for risky assets has become clearer as the weak dollar, rising oil prices, and rising US government bond yields are combined.

“This trend will continue until the 29th of the ex-dividend date (the day when the right to receive dividends disappears),” said Seo. “Next year, there is a possibility that the market fluctuates according to the rise or fall of individual stocks such as Samsung Electronics. “I looked out.

Meanwhile, the won-dollar exchange rate closed at 1103 won, down 4.9 won from the previous trading day in an atmosphere of preference for risk.
