JPMorgan's memory call isn't a rotation story — it's a "the correction was wrong" story The framing matters here. This wasn't JPMorgan discovering memory as some new Nvidia-adjacent trade — it's JPMorgan's Jay Kwon calling the recent 25% memory correction a mistake, made on Monday, two trading days before Tuesday's bounce. His thesis has two legs: supply-demand shortage persists for two more years, and — the more interesting part — memory demand is broadening from GPU to CPU in a way he thinks the market has underpriced. That's a different claim than "AI cycle strength is spilling over." It's "the market already knew this conceptually but hasn't modeled the actual volume impact." That's why Tuesday's move (SK Hynix +4.7%, SanDisk +2.68%, Micron +0.87%, SOXL +2.31%) reads as a reset of Q3 e

Hello. In the last piece Nvidia was out raising up to US$500 billion for AI infrastructure and the market had started asking where the money would come from. Last night we got half an answer: the money is there, but the people putting it up and the people spending it went in opposite directions. The providers all rose: KKR up 6.88 per cent, Apollo 6.26 per cent, Brookfield 4.77 per cent, Blackstone 3.89 per cent and BlackRock 1.54 per cent. The spenders fell for a second day: Alphabet down 3.61 per cent, its fourth decline in five sessions; $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ down 2.09 per cent, $Broadcom(AVGO)$ 1.5 per cent, $Apple(AAP

【Voting Post】2027 Memory Outlook: HBM/DRAM Remain Tight, While NAND Supply Eases The memory market may begin to diverge in 2027. TrendForce expects NAND Flash to remain undersupplied throughout 2026, with an estimated supply deficit of 4–5%. However, as new capacity and more advanced NAND production ramp up, supply could begin exceeding demand in the second half of 2027—particularly if smartphone and notebook demand remains weak. This does not mean NAND demand is collapsing. AI data centres continue to drive strong demand for enterprise SSDs and high-capacity storage. The concern is that supply may eventually grow faster than demand, reducing NAND manufacturers’ pricing power. Investment implications: • SK Hynix $SK hynix(SKHY)$  remains best positio

Should I buy ? Or wait 

SK hynix remains one of my top AI semiconductor picks, supported by strong HBM demand, leading HBM technology, and continued growth in AI data-center investment. I expect earnings growth to remain strong, although short-term volatility is likely due to high market expectations and memory-cycle risks.

The week of July 21 to 25 is the single most instructive week in the memory supercycle so far. Not because of the Tuesday gains. Because of what happened on Friday. Understanding both moves together tells you more about how to trade this sector than any analyst note written this year. Here is the full sequence. Memory stocks fell 25% across July to their lows. Monday July 20 saw a 4 to 6% snap-back as no fresh Korea headlines appeared over the weekend. Then Tuesday exploded: SNDK surged 14.27%, SKHY ADR jumped 13.75%, MU climbed 12.17%, WDC was up 12%, the DRAM ETF gained 11%. The catalyst was a Morgan Stanley report forecasting a 25% memory price increase from Q2 to Q3, with the firm explicitly stating it was buying the dip. BofA called the slump a summer reset. Semiconductor ETFs absorbe

After last week's CPI print, inflation expectations eased slightly, while the U.S.–Iran conflict flared up again and the previously-open strait was once more suspended. That said, this kind of escalation seems to occur almost every weekend, and by the time financial markets open it is quickly shrugged off—so I would not advise anyone to be overly anxious; wait until the market opens and it will speak for itself. Faced with this kind of murky, hard-to-read news flow, the best trading approach is to consider the technical indicators alone, and then set the corresponding strategy based on those indicators.

$SK hynix(SKHY)$ has fallen from a high of US$194.80 to US$126.29, down about 35%. The drop has been even more painful for $CSOP SK Hynix Daily (2x) Leveraged Product(07709)$ , which has fallen from HK$193.65 to HK$25.28, a loss of nearly 87% from its peak. SK Hynix reported record quarterly revenue and operating profit, but both still missed Wall Street expectations. That was enough to trigger another sharp swing in the stock. There is also a major change coming for leveraged ETF investors Starting August 3, CSOP’s single-stock leveraged and inverse products will move to a flexible leverage model. These products will no longer aim for a fixed 2x or -2x daily return. Instead, 2x will be the maximum, and

The global tech-stock sell-off has now run for more than three weeks, and most markets have pulled back to varying degrees. Among them, the sharply-corrected Korean market has even slipped into a technical bear. So is the current decline the eve of a major reversal, or just another routine technical pullback as so often before? Beyond Korea, Japan's market may offer the more valuable reference point. The valuation debate over tech stocks (AI-related) has raged for a long time, and trying to read it from a purely fundamental angle only ends in a dialogue of the deaf. Optimists believe the AI revolution will ultimately arrive; pessimists are convinced the bursting of the bubble is only a matter of time. In truth, for a trader, who is right or wrong is not the point—the point is which moment

$SK hynix(SKHY)$   SK Hynix Prediction and Market Outlook SK Hynix Inc. (KRX:000660) is seeing massive revenue expansion fueled by a generational "supercycle" in artificial intelligence memory chips. However, the stock is currently undergoing notable near-term volatility. On July 29, 2026, SK Hynix reported its Q2 2026 earnings, posting an immense surge in profit driven by high-bandwidth memory (HBM3E) shipments to AI giants like Nvidia. Despite these record numbers, the results narrowly missed consensus Wall Street expectations due to delayed revenue recognition on next-generation HBM4 chips. This earnings miss—combined with broader semiconductor sector corrections and panic selling in the South Korean KOSPI index—triggered a sharp 13%
