PickStock checkpoints

(observational items, not investment advice)

• Verify drivers: confirm which sectors led the KOSDAQ advance and the contribution split between large caps and small caps. (Need breakdown of moves and turnover.)
• News-momentum link: check whether robot, semiconductor, or Apple-related headlines connect, with a lag, to specific sector or stock moves.
• Foreign and institutional flows: determine if the intraday rebound is driven by foreign/institutional net buying or by short-term profit taking and price momentum.
• Derivatives positioning: assess whether index jumps have altered options and futures positioning and the impact on cash markets.
• External event risk: review global risk factors tied to US sector flows (eg Consumer Discretionary strength, Utilities weakness).
