AI Summary
National Tax Service Commissioner Lim Kwang-hyun said on the 12th that Korea's tax revenue base is overly concentrated in semiconductors and a handful of companies, calling for a new Future Response Fund financed by surplus tax receipts. The remarks signal official momentum toward capturing part of the chip-cycle windfall for fiscal buffers, which raises a policy overhang for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix if the fund design evolves into sector-targeted levies or higher effective tax burdens. Watch whether the ruling party translates the proposal into concrete legislation and how excess revenue from the current memory upcycle is earmarked, as that would determine the impact on chipmakers' cash flow and KOSPI sentiment.
As a Macro signal, watch whether it changes price action, volatility, or flows around 005930, 000660, KOSPI.

Ray Dalio argues that among the major forces at play, AI will enhance productivity and lower costs over time but also significantly reduce jobs, making it a huge producer of wealth gaps. He raises the question of how to distribute that wealth and benefits like education, noting that 60% of Americans read below a sixth-grade level and asking how that population can be made productive.
Dalio states that, based on his indicators and analysis rather than his hopes, the US-Israel-Iran war is not an isolated conflict but part of a larger world war that he believes will not end anytime soon. This is the author's personal macro assessment.
