With semiconductors leading a rebound and gains spreading to non-chip sectors, investors are watching whether foreign buying continues and how U.S. long-term Treasury yields move. Exports in early August rose sharply, led by chip shipments. Markets are also monitoring the release of the Fed’s July meeting minutes and U.S. economic indicators.

Concentration in semiconductor heavyweights and pressure from leveraged trades have eased, while margin lending has fallen. Investors are watching whether U.S. CPI, PPI and retail sales reinforce or ease rate worries. Analysts also track whether funds shift back to Kosdaq as individual investors reduce leveraged ETF positions.
