Major Reasons and Background for the Nasdaq Surge
1. Stable Inflation
The stabilization of U.S. inflation indicators has had a positive impact on the stock market, as U.S. Treasury yields are not falling.
Investors are paying attention to stocks, which are classified as risky assets, and their buying sentiment is strengthening.
2. U.S.-China Reconciliation Mood
Former President Trump mentioned that he had a positive conversation with President Xi Jinping.
Trump's remarks, along with discussions on the U.S.-China trade balance, sent positive signals to the market.
However, it is important to consider that the risk of conflict with China still exists.
3. Strong Financial Company Earnings
Major financial institutions, including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, announced strong fourth-quarter results, boosting confidence in the overall stock market.
The positive performance of the financial industry is likely to have a positive impact on other sectors as well.
4. Expectations for Trump's Inauguration
News of tax cuts and deregulation, which are considered key policies of the Trump administration, acted as a tailwind for companies and led to expectations of rising stock prices.
In particular, Tesla seems to have been positively affected by the outlook for the electric vehicle industry due to its non-confrontational relationship with Trump.
5. Seasonality
Statistically, the stock market tends to rise more after a presidential inauguration, which also stimulated investment sentiment.
Statistics showing that this pattern has been repeated in the past can be seen as having contributed to this upward trend.
6. Market Flow and Sentiment
It can be interpreted that the overall investment sentiment and market flow naturally led to the Nasdaq's rise, as there seems to be no reason not to rise.
Rather than perfectly explaining the market situation logically, it is also why investors accept it as a sign that they will continue the upward trend.
Other Stock and Related Issues
TikTok Issues and Increased Xiaohongshu Downloads
The possibility of a U.S. TikTok ban has led TikTok users to migrate to the Chinese app Xiaohongshu (RED NOTE).
As a result, Xiaohongshu app downloads have surged, and related fallout has increased interest in learning Chinese, causing Duolingo's stock price to rise 7%.
Easing of Cryptocurrency Regulations and Rise in Bitcoin
News that the Trump administration plans to designate cryptocurrency as a national priority has caused Bitcoin prices to rise.
Along with the rise in Bitcoin, the stock prices of companies such as MicroStrategy also showed strong gains.
IMF Revises Global Economic Outlook
The IMF upwardly revised the U.S. real GDP growth rate (2.7%) and downwardly revised South Korea's growth rate (2%).
This is having various impacts on global stock markets.

– 나스닥 떡상의 6가지 이유

[Korean Summary]
[내일은 투자왕 – 김단테]
“나스닥 떡상의 6가지 이유“
1. 안정적인 물가
미국 물가 지표가 안정적이라 하락하지 않는 미국 국채 금리가 주식 시장에 긍정적인 영향을 주었습니다.
투자자들은 위험 자산으로 분류되는 주식을 다시 주목하며 매수 심리가 강해지고 있습니다.
2. 미국과 중국의 화해 무드
트럼프 전 대통령은 시진핑 주석과 긍정적인 대화를 했다고 언급했습니다.
미중 무역 균형에 대한 논의와 함께 트럼프의 발언이 시장에 긍정적인 신호를 줬습니다.
다만 중국과의 갈등 리스크가 여전히 존재한다는 점도 고려해야 합니다.
3. 금융 회사들의 호실적
JP모건과 골드만삭스를 포함한 주요 금융 기관들이 4분기 호실적을 발표하며 주식 시장 전체의 신뢰도를 높였습니다.
금융 산업의 긍정적인 실적은 다른 업종에도 긍정적 영향을 미칠 가능성이 큽니다.
4. 트럼프 취임 기대감
트럼프 행정부의 핵심 정책으로 꼽히는 감세와 규제 철폐 소식이 기업들에게 호재로 작용하며 주가 상승 기대감을 이끌었습니다.
특히 테슬라는 트럼프와의 대립 없는 관계로 인해 전기차 산업 전망에 긍정적 영향을 받은 것으로 보입니다.
5. 계절성
통계적으로 대통령 취임 이후 주식 시장이 더 상승하는 경향이 있다는 점도 투자심리를 자극했습니다.
이전에도 이런 패턴이 반복되었다는 통계가 이번 상승세에 일조한 것으로 볼 수 있습니다.
6. 시장의 흐름과 심리
오르지 않을 이유가 없을 만큼 전반적인 투자 심리와 시장 흐름이 나스닥 상승을 자연스럽게 이끌었다고 해석할 수 있습니다.
시장 상황을 완벽히 논리적으로 설명하기보다는 투자자들이 상승 분위기를 이어가겠다는 뜻으로 받아들여지는 이유이기도 합니다.
기타 주식 및 관련 이슈
틱톡 이슈와 샤오홍슈 다운로드 증가
미국 틱톡 금지 가능성으로 틱톡 사용자들이 중국 앱인 샤오홍슈(RED NOTE)로 이주하는 현상이 발생했습니다.
이에 따라 샤오홍슈 앱 다운로드가 급증했고, 관련 여파로 중국어 학습 관심이 증가하며 듀오링고의 주가가 7% 상승했습니다.
암호화폐 규제 완화 및 비트코인 상승
트럼프 행정부가 암호화폐를 국가 우선순위로 지정할 계획이라는 소식이 전해지며 비트코인 가격이 상승했습니다.
비트코인 상승에 따라 마이크로스트래티지 같은 기업의 주가도 강세를 보였습니다.
IMF 글로벌 경제 전망 수정
IMF는 미국의 실질 GDP 성장률을 상향(2.7%) 조정했고, 한국의 성장률은 하향(2%) 조정했습니다.
이는 글로벌 증시에 다양한 영향을 미치고 있습니다.
