Today's Assessment: Yesterday's (6/12) rebound has officially transitioned into a recovery phase. KOSPI rose +4.63%, KOSDAQ rose +3.22%, and the Fear Index (VIX) entered the normal range (below 20) for the first time in a month at 17.68. The KRW/USD exchange rate also fell -2.38%, easing pressure from foreign capital outflow. However, the market sentiment index remains at 12 points (extreme fear) – indicating a bottom. While surface conditions have eased, investor sentiment has not yet recovered. During today's rebound, partially adjust the 47.6% semiconductor weighting that could not be reduced yesterday, lowering it to the 30% range. Unlike yesterday, new purchases are also possible in the current phase.

Market Indicators · Fear Index (VIX) 17.68 (-9.05%) · Market Sentiment 12 points (Extreme Fear) · KRW/USD 1,517.82 KRW (+0.12%) · Oil Price (WTI) 84.24 (-3.96%)

Points to Note

  • 🔴 Holdings of gold spot -9.56% loss + additional -2.31% drop yesterday — Gold is falling as safe-haven preference (uneasy atmosphere) eases. With 26% of assets tied up, caution against widening losses.
  • 🟡 Middle East risks persist — Trump's statement "Iran will be crushed tomorrow night" and Iran's threat to "attack all vessels in the Strait of Hormuz." While oil prices fell -3.96%, a reversal is possible at any time.
  • 🟢 Fear Index (VIX) entered the normal range at 17.68 + KOSPI +4.63% strength + over 100 continuous disclosures of executive purchases in Korea — Persistent insider buying by corporate executives in their own companies is interpreted as a bottoming signal for the Korean market.
