Lately, the “AI peak theory” emerged again, as Meta’s unexpected plan to sell its excess AI computing capacity to outside developers. This sudden pivot has shaken Wall Street’s narrative that compute power is perpetually scarce.
We share these concerns. Nevertheless, we still believe that having exposure to AI stocks is critical for most investors. Since AI will destroy numerous existing business models like software and internet platform, we view have baseline exposure to AI stocks in some capacity as essential.
There was also positive news. In June, Zhipu’s new AI model GLM 5.2 achieved the top global ranking in the open-source AI model. The fact that China possesses its own high-performance AI model holds significant weight for the country’s semiconductor industries. If we imagine a scenario where China failed to secure a globally competitive AI model, it would have been difficult for the government to push AI and the semiconductor industry.
However, judging by the current momentum, China’s AI capabilities are exceptional. according to a report by The Economist, roughly 50% of the world’s top AI researchers earned their undergraduate degrees from mainland China.
Recently, South Korean memory companies experienced a sharp correction. Following this year’s surge, a short-term correction is an inevitable process. Currently, memory prices remain elevated and show no signs of declining, which means that the earnings of these memory companies maintain strong upward momentum in the near future.
However, we cannot state with certainty when memory prices will reverse downward, given how substantially they have risen. The GlobalX Asia Semiconductor ETF maintains a memory exposure of approximately 35~40%, while remaining well-diversified into other semiconductor sectors. Therefore, the fund is expected to play a comparatively stable role amid future market volatility by mitigating individual stock risks.
Another defining feature of the Chinese economy is that the 10-year government bond yield has broken below the key 2% threshold and has been hovering around the 1.7% range as of July 2026.
This collapse in long-term yields reflects an environment where inflation is low due to persistent deflationary pressures, while Chinese wealth continues to accumulate through export excellence.
This phenomenon implies that the search for yield among investors will become further entrenched. Therefore, we project that dividend-yielding products, which offer stable income streams, will remain highly popular under China’s current low-yield environment.
The United States continues to deliver solid economic growth relative to other developed nations. Explosive corporate capital expenditure in the AI sector is driving overall GDP growth, and unlike in the past, the country is demonstrating highly resilient insulation against rising oil prices. Following the shale oil revolution, the US transitioned into a net crude exporter a long time ago. While rising oil prices exert some negative pressure on US inflation, they prove net-positive for the trade balance due to expanded energy export revenues.
Nevertheless, valuation pressures for US equities remain elevated, given their recent proximity to historical highs. This is because the price-to-earnings ratios of mega-cap tech firms sit significantly above their historical averages, and a prolonged high-interest-rate environment is exacerbating the discount rate burden on future earnings.
We maintain a market outlook for the US defined primarily by elevated volatility and a rangebound trajectory. From this perspective, a strategy that utilizes US equity covered call ETFs to harvest option premiums represents the most effective approach.
