The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY), tracking the benchmark KOSPI index dominated by semiconductor giants like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, has exhibited extreme volatility amid the ongoing Iran conflict's energy shock, with March 2026 marking a 19% index plunge from intramonth peaks despite year-to-date gains exceeding 26%. During the week of March 30, EWY's share price ranged from a low of $115.07 to a high of $121.26 on March 30, reflecting trader concerns over surging oil prices and accelerating consumer inflation to 3.3%, prompting a proposed 26.2 trillion won supplementary budget. Robust chip exports, up 48% year-over-year on AI demand, drove an 8% KOSPI rebound on April 1, but subsequent pullbacks underscore geopolitical risks; watch April manufacturing PMI and Bank of Korea policy signals for resolution catalysts.
