Points to Note
- 🔴 Spot Gold -7.42% Loss, 20.5% of Assets (KRW 20.04 million) Tied Up — Should risk asset preference intensify, gold, a safe-haven asset, may experience further declines. A partial sale may be considered upon a short-term rebound.
- 🟡 Crude Oil -9.7% Plunge: Short-Term Impact on Energy and Refinery Stocks — SPDR S&P Oil (XOP) is down -4.2% today. Post-Iran armistice, significant volatility is observed; monitoring is indicated.
- 🟢 Iran Armistice + KRW 1,513 Exchange Rate Stabilization + KOSPI +5.2% Rally — Entry phase for risk asset preference. This presents a short-term positive factor for semiconductor and big tech holdings.
