Is a Short-Term Correction in May an Opportunity? What to Do If You Need More Investment Funds

Published 06 May.2026 10:42(KST)

Despite the typical “sell in May” period, analysts say that this year’s stock market may present a short-term correction as an opportunity to increase holdings. While there are concerns about overheating due to the recent sharp rise in the index and the possibility of profit-taking selling, these are considered likely to represent only a temporary pause rather than a trend reversal. Although short-term volatility could increase due to geopolitical factors and macroeconomic uncertainty, the prevailing view is that downside risks in the market are limited.

The key factor is the trend of improving corporate earnings. As earnings forecasts are being rapidly revised upward, valuation pressure is easing, and there is still room for further gains. In particular, the existing leading sectors remain attractive for short-term correction-driven strategies, and sectors that have seen relatively limited gains may also present opportunities as part of a rotation. Overall, market funds are being reallocated around earnings momentum, and the upward trend is likely to continue, with a broadening rally across sectors expected.

Meanwhile, interest in stock-backed loans (stock loans) is steadily rising. Investors who do not want to miss rare investment opportunities are turning to stock loans, which allow them to access more funds for stock purchases.

Another advantage of stock loans is that, even if investors using margin trading or credit purchases face a forced sale crisis due to a sharp drop in stock prices, they can easily switch products without additional collateral or having to sell their holdings, and then wait for a market rebound.
