South Korea's iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) has traded near $177–180 in late August 2026 after a sharp mid-month rally that lifted the fund more than 10% in one week, driven by foreign inflows and outperformance in memory-chip leaders Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. The ETF remains up roughly 75–80% year-to-date despite a steep correction from the KOSPI's June peak near 9,386, as global bond-yield spikes and semiconductor volatility weighed on sentiment. Semiconductor exports continue to dominate, accounting for over 40% of Korean shipments amid sustained AI demand, while OECD projections point to 2.6% GDP growth for 2026 supported by net exports. Traders are monitoring month-end closes, upcoming inflation prints, and any shifts in foreign positioning ahead of potential resolution.
