On June 30, Dan Bin, Chairman of Dongfang Harbor, stated at the Gelonghui Mid-Year Strategy Summit: My basic judgment is that the era of artificial intelligence will have a long industrial cycle, similar to that of the internet era. ChatGPT was announced at the end of 2022, and if we refer to the historical rhythm of the internet 'ten years after announcement,' that point (around 2033) is likely to be a reference window for risk assessment. Before that, the industrial development of AI is unlikely to conclude in three to four years. However, short-term market fluctuations and localized bubbles do exist, and investors must rationally assess their situations.

On June 30, Lyon released a report stating that the South Korean government, along with Samsung and SK Group, announced a massive artificial intelligence (AI) investment plan totaling over 475 trillion won, covering semiconductors (320.6 trillion won), physical AI (undisclosed amount), and AI data centers (up to 155 trillion won). Although the investment timeline extends to 2035 and beyond, the bank believes the short-term impact is limited, but this move strengthens the long-term AI investment cycle and industry positioning. Based on this theme, Lyon's preferred companies include Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Samsung C&T, Hyundai Motor, Hyundai Mobis, Samsung E&A, and Naver. Regarding the Kospi index, the bank continues to view a pullback of 15% to 25% as an attractive entry point, while the recent 14% decline provides a compelling opportunity (unless systemic risks arise).

On June 30, gold prices fell, likely marking the largest monthly decline since October 2008. On a quarterly basis, gold is also set to record its first quarterly drop since 2024, with the decline being the largest since the second quarter of 2013. Although the situation in the Middle East remains uncertain, the market is currently more concerned about the extent to which the U.S. will act to control inflation. Marex analyst Edward Meir stated that the combination of high inflation, expectations of high interest rates, and a strong dollar has suppressed all the usual reasons that support rising gold prices. Christopher Wong, a precious metals strategist at OCBC Bank, pointed out that gold bulls need to see at least one turning point—either a decline in real yields, a weakening dollar, or a significant easing of the market's hawkish expectations for the Fed. Until then, any rebound in gold prices is unlikely to be sustained and is more likely to experience repeated fluctuations below previous highs.
