The stock market, fueled by the AI craze, has hit a major reef in the form of US interest rates and exchange rates. An easy-to-understand look at the Korean stock market and the semiconductor economy through everyday analogies.
South Korea's per capita income is on the verge of reaching $40,000. Why is income in terms of dollars stagnating while the economy is growing? We easily explain the optical illusion in the economy created by exchange rates.
Is the era of Agentic AI, which thinks and acts on its own, coming? We clearly explain the future of agent-centric PCs announced by Big Tech at Computex 2026 and the AI memory semiconductor shortage that will continue until 2030.
