SK Hynix's buybacks are now bigger than foreign selling — and Thursday's rate decision could move your holdings next.
This episode breaks down why SK Hynix's 2.2 trillion won buyback is cushioning the KOSPI, what a possible second Bank of Korea rate hike could mean for bank and growth stocks, and why LG Uplus and Nvidia's earnings this week matter for retail portfolios. All figures are drawn from Seoul Economic Daily reporting and a survey of twenty Korean economists and bond strategists.
