South Korea's iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) trades near 164-166 amid elevated volatility driven by heavy semiconductor exposure to Samsung and SK Hynix. A July deleveraging episode triggered widespread margin calls, amplifying a KOSPI correction of over 25% from peaks after rapid AI-fueled gains. Foreign investors recorded record net buying exceeding 7 trillion won in early August, signaling potential stabilization as leveraged positions unwind. With a beta near 2.45, EWY remains sensitive to U.S. tech sentiment, China memory-chip competition, and upcoming July economic releases including unemployment data and export prices. Traders price in continued AI momentum offset by regulatory scrutiny of retail leverage and global rate paths.

Only prices achieved during the regular trading hours of the primary exchange on which the listed security trades (typically 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET) will be considered. Prices occurring during pre-market or after-hours trading will not qualify.
Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed company during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth.
The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Pyth after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the South Korea ETF (EWY) "High" and "Low" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.EWY%2FUSD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles.
Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter. Any timestamp within the listed market time frame may be used to view the relevant candle data (e.g., https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.EWY%2FUSD?t=1773432000)
If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high/low price published by the primary exchange on which the listed security trades will be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
