KOSPI outlook: when will flows normalise, U.S. inflation in focus

South Korean stocks this week are expected to test whether market flows are normalising after a sharp selloff, with U.S. inflation data seen as the key variable. 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.

Bitcoin rebound limited despite inflation cooling; oil and big tech earnings in focus

Bitcoin rebounded after U.S. June inflation data came in below market expectations, but it has struggled to establish a clear direction amid renewed U.S.-Iran military clashes and rising oil prices. Comments from a hawkish Federal Reserve official added pressure, while President Donald Trump’s remarks about a possible peace deal with Iran helped limit losses. Analysts said oil prices and tech stock moves, including profit-taking after TSMC results, could shape near-term direction, along with upcoming big tech earnings and U.S. Senate scheduling for a Clarity bill vote.
