JPMorgan turns bullish on Taiwan, South Korea and China stocks

Sep 03, 2026

JPMorgan flipped from warning to buying just one day later, telling investors to add tech and chip stocks in Taiwan, South Korea and China — good news for anyone holding Asian tech, if the call holds.

  • The bank now says the recent global sell-off is a short-term mood swing, not the start of a real downturn, and selling now means falling for a market trap.
  • Just a day earlier the same bank warned that rising US government bond yields, US-Iran tensions and cooling AI momentum could make things worse.
  • Chip and tech stocks look oversold, so markets tied to the IT supply chain — Taiwan, South Korea and China — are the ones to buy on dips.
  • Company profits have stopped being cut, Europe's factory surveys are picking up, and a weaker dollar would help emerging markets.
  • The catch: oil near $90 and US 10-year yields flirting with 5% would squeeze expensive growth stocks again.

Outlook: Expect September and October to reward individual winners rather than lifting every index, with JPMorgan still betting the S&P 500 hits new highs by year-end.
