1. Weekly Summary

The Upside

A semiconductor V-shaped rebound rescued the week. Trump's cancellation of a third Iran airstrike on June 11 and SpaceX's record-breaking IPO on June 12 (first-day +19%, raising $75 billion) combined to lift SMH +8.82% for the week, fully reversing the prior week's Broadcom shock (W23 -4.88%) in just one week. Iran deal optimism drove WTI down -6.25% to $84.88 and Brent down -6.19%, relieving energy-driven inflation pressure; in turn, the 10-year Treasury yield eased from 4.54% to 4.49%, reducing the discount rate burden on growth stocks. The breadth of the risk-on return was wide — Russell 2000 +3.90%, EWY (Korea) +12.71%, and Euro Stoxx 50 +2.07% all surged in tandem, and the VIX fell from an intraday high of 23.34 on June 10 to 17.68 (weekly -17.81%), returning below the fear threshold of 20.

The Friction

Yet the recovery was a rebound built on top of macro headwinds. May CPI released on June 10 came in at +4.2%, a three-year high (energy +23.5% YoY contributing over 60%), followed the next day by PPI +6.5% (highest since November 2022), producing a 'Black Wednesday' (6/10 close -1.62%) in which the S&P 500 touched an intraday low of 7,237.85. Gold (GLD -2.45%, GC=F -2.82%) declined despite the geopolitical easing and a weaker dollar (DXY -0.32%), as risk-on sentiment eroded safe-haven demand; energy (XLE -0.21%) was the only sector to finish lower among eleven, pressured by the oil price plunge. Korea began the week with KOSPI plunging -8.40% intraday to a circuit-breaker close of 7,484.41 on June 8, making it the epicenter of global volatility.

Outlook

Next week brings the BOJ (6/15~16) and FOMC (6/16~17) event cluster that W23 had flagged as the key macro hurdle. If Chair Warsh's first dot plot (SEP) confirms a '0 cuts in 2026' signal, the rate-decline expectations that powered this week's V-shaped rebound would break, opening a path to a correction in high-P/S growth equities. Conversely, if the FOMC delivers a hold + neutral message alongside a confirmed Iran Geneva MOU signing, a push beyond oversold relief toward a retest of the all-time high (6/2 peak at 7,609) becomes viable. The key vulnerability is that SMH's +8.82% surge arrived as a price-led move without recovering trend-entry conditions (MACD/MA alignment), making it the first area likely to reverse on any hawkish FOMC or BOJ shock.

2. Prior Week Forecast Review

Prior ForecastActual OutcomeVerdict
① CPI vs. oversold bounce tug-of-war — rally if CPI cools / additional -3~5% correction on upside surpriseCPI came in at 4.2%, an upside surprise (three-year high), but Iran deal progress offset the shock → V-shaped rebound from the 6/10 trough (S&P 7,237), with S&P +0.65%·SMH +8.82%·VIX 23.34→17.68 for the weekPartial Hit
② Four-way macro test (SpaceX·BOJ·FOMC) in parallel — hawkish BOJ+FOMC confluence would directly hit AI semiconductors via yen carry unwindSpaceX IPO was a resounding success (+19%, risk-on catalyst), confirming the call. BOJ·FOMC deferred to 6/15~17 and did not occur within W24; yen carry unwind did not materialize (USD/JPY +0.12%)Partial Hit
③ Korea market bottom confirmation — NPS/MSCI providing downside support vs. further foreign investor outflowsKOSPI plunged further to -8.29% on 6/8 (circuit breaker triggered) before surging, foreign investors returned to net buying after 25 trading sessions on 6/12 (+approximately KRW 2 trillion), EWY +12.71%Hit
④ [Risk] May CPI upside surprise (35% probability) → S&P -3~5%, bonds/gold/crypto declineCPI upside at 4.2% confirmed, but markets rallied instead of falling further (S&P weekly +0.65%, BTC +1.79%, TLT +0.83%) — bonds and crypto actually rosePartial Hit
⑤ [Risk] Structural peak in AI demand cycle (20% probability) → SMH -15~20%Moved in the opposite direction — SpaceX, Adobe AI ARR tripling, and the semiconductor rebound restored confidence in the AI narrative; SMH gained +8.82% for the week (top-performing sector)Miss
⑥ [Risk] BOJ rate hike + yen carry unwind (30% probability)BOJ meeting deferred to 6/15~16 (next week); did not occur within W24Inconclusive
W23's designated pivot test — 'CPI upside vs. oversold bounce' — saw the CPI upside call confirmed precisely, but instead of a further correction, the offsetting variable of Iran negotiations (which W23 had underweighted) prevailed and the V-shaped rebound took hold. The Korea bottom/bounce scenario was exactly on target. The 'AI peak-out' risk assigned a low 20% probability, however, moved in the opposite direction, with semiconductors reversing to become the top-performing sector of the week, while the macro shocks that consensus feared (BOJ·FOMC) were deferred by one week.

3. Portfolio Drift & Risk

Weekly Portfolio Drift

This week saw an exact reversal of W23's "nowhere to hide" dynamic (simultaneous selloff in equities, bonds, gold, and crypto). Risk assets (SPY +0.57%, BTC +1.79%) rose alongside bonds (TLT +0.83%), while safe-haven gold (-2.45%) and geopolitically-driven energy (-0.21%) pulled back — a textbook risk-on rotation. Trump's cancellation of an Iran airstrike on June 11 worked through two channels simultaneously: the oil price plunge reduced demand for inflation hedges (gold), while the resulting decline in discount rates boosted growth equities. Gold's drop despite a weaker dollar signals a regime shift in which safe-haven premiums are migrating back into risk assets.

The most notable structural anomaly is the divergence between price and entry conditions. Even names that surged the most (EWY +12.71%, SMH +8.82%) ended the week with entry conditions still 'Not Met' — MACD/MA trend alignment has not yet caught up to the pace of the price rebound. This V-shaped rally was not a trend-signal-confirmed advance but an event-driven rebound in which prices ran ahead before the signals could follow.

Rebalancing Actions

AMZN

Exit / Liquidate

Entry condition broken on 6/11 via MA Cross failure. The only mega-cap that failed to participate in the rebound. Relative underperformance vs. other Big Tech confirmed.

-2.7%
LLY

Exit / Liquidate

Entry condition broken on 6/12. Trail room (25.80%) remains ample, but MA Cross failure led to loss of entry condition. Defensive health care capital partly rotated away on risk-on shift.

-1.4%
AVGO

Hold→Accumulate / Normalize Position Size

Trail room compressed to 5.17% on 6/10 before recovering to 7.19% by 6/12. Discussion verdict flipped from REDUCE to BUY, providing grounds for full-size re-entry. However, with trail room in the 7% range, capacity to absorb FOMC volatility remains limited.

-3.66%
EWY

Watch / Price Surge vs. Entry Not Met

Trail room fell to 1.95% (near stop threshold) on 6/10, then rebounded sharply to 10.67% by 6/12. Foreign investor flows returning net-positive and MSCI inclusion hopes are the key drivers. Top candidate for re-entry once MACD entry condition is restored.

+12.71%
SMH

Watch / Rally Leader but Entry Not Met

Top-performing sector of the week, yet entry condition remains unmet. Trail room improved from 13.06% to 16.45%. Recovery of trend alignment plus 6/24 Micron earnings confirmation are prerequisites for re-entry.

+8.82%
CPER

Hold / Core Commodity Maintained

Entry condition remains met. Copper benefits from AI data center demand and U.S.-China tariff relief. Trail room (11.98%) stable.

The discussion system's core narrative was real-time capture of the regime shift. Early in the week (6/8·6/11), both AVGO and CPER were rated REDUCE (half-size) — the result of both Bull and Bear sides citing the same shared risk-off signals: CPI at 4.2%, the U.S.-Iran clash, and narrowing trail room. When the cancellation of the Iran airstrike, the SpaceX IPO, and the semiconductor V-shaped rebound were confirmed on June 12, AVGO's verdict flipped to BUY — the Bull's 'AI infrastructure seller structure' argument (AVGO selling chips funded by its own cash flow, vs. Oracle buying infrastructure funded by debt) neutralized the Bear's concerns around 'CapEx ROI at 3.6% and customer concentration.' With trail room recovering from 5.17% to 7.19%, both the technical framework and the buffer were simultaneously restored. In the end, the discussion system pinpointed the transition timing correctly, but the half-size stance during the REDUCE phase (6/8~6/11) came at the cost of capturing only a portion of the subsequent rebound (AVGO +2.68%, CPER +4.85%).

Weekly Strategy Summary

The regime shifted from risk_off (W23) to risk_on in a single week. Yet trend signals could not keep pace with prices — SMH and EWY surged +8.82% and +12.71% respectively, while their entry conditions remained 'Not Met' and zero new entries were added. Core holdings (SPY·QQQ·XLK) absorbed the shock with trail room above 23% and held firm, mega-cap semiconductors (AVGO·MU) maintained their entry conditions, and defensive names (XLV·LLY) plus the one Big Tech that failed to rebound (AMZN) broke their entry conditions during the risk-on transition. Gold's avoidance stance continued from W23. In short, "V-shaped price recovery, signals still pending confirmation" was the defining theme of the week, and next week's FOMC will be the arbiter of whether this divergence resolves (trend confirmed) or reverses (rebound negated).

Sentiment traced a V-shaped curve — starting the week in mixed territory (semiconductors vs. crypto), hitting a bearish trough on 6/10~11 amid CPI, Iran, and Oracle shocks, then returning to bullish territory for equity communities from 6/12 onward following the SpaceX IPO. However, the recovery was confined to equities; crypto maintained extreme fear throughout, with BTC ETFs posting 13 consecutive days of outflows and the Fear & Greed Index stuck at 10→13 — a persistent 'equities-crypto decoupling.' The equity sentiment trough (6/10~11) and recovery (6/12) aligned precisely with the V-shaped rebound in semiconductor signals.

9. Next Week Outlook

Upcoming Key Events

  • 2026-06-14 (Sun): Potential U.S.-Iran Geneva MOU signing — a signed deal would push oil lower and extend risk-on; a breakdown would send WTI back above $90.
  • 2026-06-15~16 (Mon~Tue): BOJ rate decision — 0.75% to 1.0% hike at 97% probability. 25bps already priced in; language hinting at further hikes is the key variable.
  • 2026-06-16~17 (Tue~Wed): FOMC meeting (Chair Warsh's first meeting and first SEP) — hold at 97% is near-certain, but the dot plot's implied number of cuts in 2026 is the key variable.
  • 2026-06-19 (Fri): MSCI Global Market Accessibility Review — first read on whether Korea is added to the Developed Market Watch List.
  • 2026-06-24 (Wed): MSCI Annual Market Classification Review — if Korea is placed on the Developed Market Watch List, estimated KRW 50–70 trillion of foreign inflows expected (largest event of the quarter, late next week).
  • 2026-06-24 (Wed): Micron (MU) Q3 earnings — whether HBM demand is reconfirmed will determine whether the semiconductor V-shaped rebound is sustainable.

Key Focal Points

  1. Warsh's first dot plot (SEP) is the arbiter of the V-shaped rebound: If the 6/17 SEP confirms '0 cuts in 2026,' the rally's driving force (falling rate expectations, 10Y at 4.49%) breaks, triggering a re-rating of high-P/S growth equities (Nasdaq -3~5%). A hold + neutral message would support a push beyond oversold relief toward a retest of the all-time high (7,609).
  2. Direction of the semiconductor price-signal divergence: SMH's +8.82% surge has not yet recovered entry conditions (MACD/MA trend alignment). If signals ratify prices post-FOMC/BOJ (entry conditions met), the trend is confirmed; a hawkish shock would cause this to be the first area to reverse. Micron's 6/24 earnings are the fundamental verification axis.
  3. Asymmetry of Iran MOU signing vs. breakdown: A signing would push oil lower → energy CPI base-effect reversal → risk-on extended. A breakdown would push WTI back to $90–100 → CPI re-acceleration → defense stocks surge, semiconductors sell off. RBC and others caution against premature optimism, citing the absence of Supreme Leader confirmation.

Risk Factors

  1. Hawkish FOMC dot plot (30% probability): If Warsh's first SEP signals 0 cuts + more concrete conditions for rate hikes, the 10Y Treasury could rise 20~30bps and the Nasdaq could fall -3~5%. AVGO (trail 7.19%) and SMH remain in entry-condition-unrecovered territory, making them direct targets for a retest.
  2. Iran negotiations breakdown (20~25% probability): If the Geneva MOU collapses or military conflict resumes, WTI could re-breach $90–100, re-accelerating CPI. Energy and defense would surge while semiconductors — this week's V-shaped rally leaders — would reverse to lead the decline.
  3. BOJ signaling further hikes + yen carry unwind (30% probability): 25bps is already priced in, but language suggesting additional hikes could break USD/JPY below 160, triggering unwinds across $500 billion in yen carry positions. A repeat of the August 2024 pattern would deliver a single-day hit of -3~4% to major AI semiconductor names.
  4. Technical immaturity of the rebound (structural): A price-led rebound without entry-condition confirmation can reverse quickly on any fundamental or event shock, without signal validation. Zero new entries and EWY's trail room scare (1.95% crisis low) are evidence of this structural fragility.
