Sectors Leading in January to Shape First-Half Trend... Earnings and Flows Are Key

As the focal point of attention in the stock market is shifting rapidly from interest rates to earnings and further to supply-demand dynamics, some analysts say that sectors with the highest returns in January are highly likely to continue to lead the market through the first half of the year. Looking at past cases, sectors that were strong at the beginning of the year clearly tended to generate excess returns later on as well, and this year, sectors expected to see an earnings turnaround have taken center stage in the market.

In the domestic market, sectors that rose sharply at the start of the year are leading the gains by reflecting both earnings improvement and growth stories. The KOSDAQ, which had been relatively neglected, is also viewed as having significant rebound potential, given that the performance gap between indices has widened excessively, especially if policy expectations and inflows of funds into the market overlap. However, in a phase of heightened interest-rate volatility, experts advise that it is important to selectively invest in companies whose earnings growth and cash-generating capacity are well supported.

Meanwhile, interest in stock loans is growing by the day. Investors who do not want to miss rare investment opportunities are turning their attention to stock loans, which allow them to use more funds for stock purchases.

Another advantage of stock loans is that, even if investors using margin or credit trading face a forced liquidation crisis due to a sharp drop in share prices, they can simply switch over without providing additional collateral or selling holdings and then wait for a rebound.
