  • Capital Economics: Fed's Inaction This Week is Expected, Walsh's Hawkish Risks Should Not Be Ignored

    On June 16, Capital Economics stated that the Federal Reserve's decision to remain inactive this week is almost a certainty. The firm's North American Chief Economist, Stephen Brown, speculated that Walsh would not present his own interest rate forecast, but he would still be asked about his views at the press conference. Brown noted, 'The risk for the market is that Walsh's comments could be more hawkish than expected—either due to a communication misstep or simply because his current stance is not as dovish as it was when he was vying for President Trump's nomination.' However, Brown also warned that if Walsh feels constrained by Trump, an overtly dovish tone could reignite concerns about the Fed's independence and potentially drive up long-term bond yields. Brown indicated that there is a significant likelihood of two 'insurance rate hikes' occurring in December and early next year.

  • South Korean Banks Tighten 'Borrowing to Invest in Stocks', Goldman Sachs Advises Clients to Hedge Against Korean Stock Downside Risks

    On June 16, the risk signals in the South Korean stock market are no longer just about 'rising too quickly'. More critically, part of the money driving the market comes from credit loans and overdraft limits, and this funding channel is being tightened by banks. Major banks in South Korea have first limited mortgage loans and are now reaching for credit loans, overdraft accounts, and internet loan access, with a direct goal: to suppress borrowing for stock investment. Goldman Sachs trader Alvin So noted in a client memo that the logic behind AI and semiconductors remains strong, and valuations are still attractive, but 'a new structural dynamic in the market has become more important than ever.' This dynamic refers to the amplification effects brought by leveraged ETFs and derivative positions. The core message is not to immediately short South Korean tech stocks, but to remind clients that core long positions can remain, but should be hedged with options against short-term pullbacks. The numbers are extreme. The assets of South Korean leveraged ETFs have reached about $40 billion, equivalent to approximately 2.6% of the market's freely tradable market capitalization; the implied volatility of South Korean options has risen to about 80%, compared to only around 20% a year ago; skew is nearing high levels, and the volatility term structure is inverted. In other words, rising stock prices have not lowered risk pricing but have instead surged alongside volatility. The credit side is also cooling down simultaneously. Last month, household loans in South Korea's entire financial system increased by 9.3 trillion won, with credit loans increasing by 3.4 trillion won in May, while they decreased by 900 billion won in April. After the regulatory emergency management mechanism was initiated, banks have gradually set loan limits, suspended some channels, and reduced unused overdraft limits. If stock market positions continue to be built on short-term borrowing and leveraged ETFs, the real danger is not just an ordinary pullback, but the simultaneous occurrence of financing contraction and position rebalancing.
