  • Record High VKOSPI Reflects Rising Hedging Costs Amid Korean Stock Volatility
    February 3, 2026, 1:12 AM EST. Investors are paying record levels to hedge against volatility in South Korea's stock market as the Kospi 200 Volatility Index (VKOSPI) reached an all-time high relative to the U.S. Cboe Volatility Index. The spike followed the biggest slump since April, fueled by concerns over the artificial intelligence boom and its impact on chip heavyweights Samsung and SK Hynix. Despite a quick market rebound, elevated VKOSPI signals persistent uncertainty. Market participants are cautious amid the Kospi's doubling since last April, with one-month options to protect against a 10% drop hitting the highest premium since November. Experts recommend waiting for clearer market direction but recognize ongoing opportunities in the dip.
