1. Trump's Davos Forum Remarks
-
Oil Price Stability and Inflation
Trump stated at the Davos Forum that if oil prices stabilize and inflation is contained, he would strongly urge the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. -
Sensing a Shift in Trump's Policies
Unlike his past hardline policies, Trump is now pursuing a strategy of not raising tariffs aggressively and instead consolidating the US base.
This could lead Fed members to perceive Trump's intentions as more predictable. -
Defense Industry Stock Rise at Davos
He pressured NATO member states to spend 5% of their GDP on defense, which resulted in significant attention to global defense stocks.
2. Global Investment Flows Centered on Energy and Technology

Stargate Project
It has been confirmed that the US is pouring substantial funds (approximately 750 trillion KRW) into AI and technology development.
This is greatly benefiting AI and semiconductor-related companies. Especially companies like SK Hynix are gaining attention in the global market. -
Increased Investment in AI and Power
Energy projects are significantly activating various industries, including power equipment, and a surge in investment is occurring in both domestic and international power equipment companies.

The gap in market capitalization between Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix may continue to narrow. -
Power Equipment and Shipbuilding

Shipbuilding stocks have experienced recent adjustments, but high profitability is still expected, particularly centered around engines.

However, Chairman Powell's statements will be closely watched due to their connection to Trump's policies. -
