Huatai Securities: South Korea's high export growth indicates that global AI supply chain trade is still on an upward trend, and the Asian AI supply chain is expected to continue to benefit.
Mars Finance reported on July 6th that a research report from Huatai Securities pointed out that the continued strong performance of AI chain exports drove South Korea's June exports to significantly exceed expectations, with the trade surplus reaching a new historical high. Looking ahead, leading indicators show that AI chain trade will maintain high growth, and South Korean exports are expected to continue their strong performance, potentially driving South Korea's nominal GDP to maintain a relatively high growth rate. In the short term, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, which leads South Korean semiconductor exports by about four months, remains high year-on-year, indicating that the strong performance of South Korean semiconductor exports is likely to continue; at the same time, against the backdrop of strong AI demand, memory prices are still rising, and prices will continue to support nominal exports. The high growth of South Korean exports indicates that global AI chain trade is still on an upward trend, and the AI supply chain in Asia, including South Korea and China, is expected to continue to benefit.
