**EWY closed at $178.34 on August 21, 2026, after sharp volatility tied to U.S. Treasury yield swings and semiconductor-specific catalysts.** The ETF, which allocates roughly 50% to information technology with heavy exposure to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, has seen extreme moves this year, including a June peak near $221 followed by a steep drawdown and rebound that left it up more than 80% year-to-date. Recent sessions highlighted the market's sensitivity to global bond yields and local corporate actions. A mid-August bond rout pressured chip stocks and sent the Kospi lower, but SK Hynix's 40 trillion won (~$28.7 billion) share buyback announcement and expectations for a substantial Samsung shareholder return package fueled a 5.9% Kospi surge on August 20, with Samsung and SK Hynix leading gains. Foreign buying supported the recovery, while KRW movements and broader risk sentiment added to daily swings. For the week of August 24, traders will watch any Samsung return-policy details, U.S. yield trajectories, AI-driven memory demand signals, and macroeconomic data that could shift rate expectations or equity risk appetite. The ETF's elevated beta and concentration in cyclical tech names amplify reactions to these factors.

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.
