South Korea chip rout turns leveraged ETFs into new KOSPI risk for investors

South Korea’s bear-market fall is exposing a leverage loop built on two chipmakers, not just a shift in views on artificial intelligence. The KOSPI closed down 409.52 points, or 5.35%, at 7,246.79 on Wednesday, 20.5% below its June 22 record close of 9,114.55. Samsung Electronics fell 6.3% and SK Hynix lost 5.7%; Han Ji-young, an analyst at Kiwoom Securities, said there were “worries about a slowdown in memory price growth” and uncertainty over whether earnings have peaked.
