South Korea’s EWY ETF experienced sharp volatility during the week of August 3, 2026, driven primarily by semiconductor names such as Samsung and SK Hynix amid fluctuating AI-related demand signals. The KOSPI posted a record 18% single-day gain late in July before extending swings, with EWY printing closes from the low 150s to above 171 as foreign flows rotated and retail margin positions unwound. Record $1.25 billion inflows into EWY highlighted renewed institutional interest following the prior month’s steep correction that erased roughly 40% from June peaks. Traders are monitoring upcoming U.S. tech earnings and any Bank of Korea commentary for clues on whether chip export momentum can stabilize share prices and implied volatility near current levels around 165.

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" 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 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.
