[Hong Jang-won's Bull & Bear] If Micron is worth 3000 dollars, what does that imply for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix? The afternoon 10-year auction that calmed fears in the US Treasury market

What to look for
One 17-minute video covers the US 10-year Treasury auction results, the rationale for raising Micron's price target, and the key issues behind France's fiscal instability.
Why it matters
Understanding how auction indicators, inflation expectations, and valuation debates feed through to interest rates and share prices can help you interpret Treasury auction and earnings-season news independently.

The video reports that the US 10-year Treasury auction, totaling 390 hundred-million dollars, was a blockbuster: the stop-out yield was 5.3%, or 1.7bp below the when-issued yield, with a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.77 times, indirect bidders taking 80.3%, and dealers taking 2.5%. Before the auction, the yield had risen as high as 5.36% intraday, its highest since the early 2000s. At that level, buy-the-dip demand from major investors was confirmed, sending yields substantially lower. However, it says it is too early to relax because tomorrow's 30-year auction remains. Despite the strong auction, the S&P 500's response was lukewarm: it rebounded but ultimately closed slightly lower. It explains that the coexistence of a 10-year yield at a 20-year high and a stock index at an all-time high shows that the correlation between interest rates and stocks has weakened. The New York Fed's September (month 9) 1-year inflation expectation rose from 3.6 to 3.9, its highest since May (month 5) 2023. A Reuters survey projected 5.0 at year-end, 4.90 in 6 months, and 4.75 in 1 year, yet 28 of 30 respondents said upside risks were greater. It explains that high rates are becoming entrenched amid competition for AI investment funding, government borrowing demand, and oil-price pressures. The UK 30-year yield exceeded 6% intraday, its highest since 1998, while hyperscaler corporate bonds accounted for 22% of Swiss-franc investment-grade issuance. Micron shares rose more than 4% after DA Davidson raised its price target from 2,100 dollars to 3,000 dollars. The video presents the rationale of demand exceeding supply through 2028, strategic long-term contracts covering half of production capacity, and a market-average multiple of 19 times, alongside the counterargument concerning the industry's cycle. Applying the same logic could imply roughly 80 ten-thousand won for Samsung Electronics and roughly 400 ten-thousand won for SK Hynix, drawing attention to how this combines with Samsung Electronics' preliminary earnings due in a few hours. It also says fiscal austerity in France faces difficulties following the rejection of a proposal to reduce pension deductions. All directional forecasts are the speaker's conditional judgments, not definitive predictions of short-term prices.
