The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY), tracking the MSCI Korea 25/50 Index dominated by semiconductor giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, has surged over 5% in the past week to around $152 as of April 17, 2026, reflecting trader consensus on the AI memory supercycle. Blowout Q1 earnings guidance from Samsung on April 8—coupled with SK Hynix shares jumping 15%—underscored robust high-bandwidth memory (HBM) demand, driving YTD returns above 50% and the KOSPI index past 6,100. A US-Iran ceasefire announcement further fueled the rebound from March's energy-crisis volatility. Traders eye Bank of Korea policy signals and Q2 chip outlooks amid global risk appetite shifts.

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.

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)
