KOSPI, KOSDAQ and Korean listed names — semiconductors, batteries and more.
Korea's benchmark index edged lower on net foreign selling, led by large-cap memory names amid concerns over the pace of the DRAM upcycle.
Bears argue the DRAM cycle is topping. I disagree. Bit demand from AI training clusters is structurally different from the PC/mobile cycles of the past.

Watch capex discipline — the moment someone breaks ranks and floods capacity, the thesis changes.
