1/6 The Fed is now forcing US banks to come clean on their private credit exposure.
And from what regulators are seeing so far… they’re not happy. The Iran-US war buried this story in the headlines.
Here’s a proper deep dive on the $3T private credit bomb and why it’s starting to spill over into APAC.
Now buy SK Hynix at 38% off.
SK Square (402340) NAV breakdown:
→ SK Hynix 20% stake: ₩205 trillion
→ Other assets: ~₩5 trillion
→ Total NAV: ~₩210 trillion
→ SK Square market cap: ~₩131 trillion
You're paying ₩131tn for ₩210tn worth of SK Hynix + ad-tech + SK Telecom dividends. 38% NAV discount.
Management is closing it actively:
-> 6.7% of all shares cancelled since spin-off
-> ₩200B first-ever cash dividend
-> ₩110B buyback announced
-> ₩310B total shareholder returns this year
Quick context: most Asian holdcos trade at 30-50% discount. SK Square has the cleanest single-asset NAV (97% SK Hynix), the most aggressive cancellation pace, and IBKR opened Korean stocks to U.S. retail Apr 28.
Worth noting: SK Hynix US listing eyes July. The discount is closing.

@unusual_whales Opportunistic bid to buy a huge ecommerce platform with global reach. Some very obvious synergies and GME gets market entry into non gaming markets.
@StockMKTNewz Acquisition makes sense. Opportunistic bid to buy a huge ecommerce platform wit global reach. Some very obvious synergies and allows GME to expand out of just gaming.
@KobeissiLetter Oil moves have dislocated from equites and risk assets for now. The correlation we saw in Feb and March no longer exists. Traders looking away for now.
@KobeissiLetter Apple Neo has been a big hit. Demand is off the charts! They have been consistently meeting the furious demand for products despite memory and other hardware shortages. Impressive tech company with a really impressive supply chan and logistics department.
Headline fatigue on the Iran-US conflict is real. SPX-WTI correlation crashed from -0.82 to -0.12 as AI semis and bank earnings stole the spotlight. Traders are fine ignoring a conflict that controls 20% of global oil supply… For now. When is it time to price it back in?
$KOSPI 6,600 for the first time in history.
$NIKKEI 60,000 for the first time in history.
Korea's total market cap just crossed ₩6,000 trillion.
SK Hynix +5.5%, despite a downgrade report today. The market is not interested in the bears.
Institutions buying and Retail selling, its been the same pattern all month.
Its the same cycle every time. Talks break down, oil goes up, talks back on oil goes down, then we get a headline saying "big bets on oil before Trump announces he's closing SoH for 69 years" then another one saying "Big shorts on oil before Trump says he's opening SoH in 6-7 days"
