KOSPI above 9,000 faces test from PCE, Micron earnings

South Korean stocks are expected to take cues this week from the U.S. May personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index and Micron’s earnings report. The KOSPI has moved above the 9,000 level, but concentration in semiconductors and IT hardware has increased short-term volatility. Retail inflows into domestic equity ETFs have continued in June. Investors are watching whether PCE revives rate-hike concerns and whether Micron’s results support the semiconductor rally.
