Furthermore, SoftBank's remarks on AI safety concerns could introduce short-term caution regarding future AI regulation tightening and investor sentiment.
In a bullish scenario, Hyundai's expanding eco-friendly vehicle market share in the U.S. and the continuous growth of the robotics industry could be highlighted, driving up related stock prices. In a bearish scenario, if AI safety-related regulatory risks emerge, investor sentiment across tech stocks could contract, with key monitoring indicators being U.S. hybrid sales volume and AI regulatory trends.
