South Korea’s iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) has traded near $179–$180 in mid-August 2026 after rebounding from a sharp July–early August correction that erased roughly 40% from the KOSPI peak. The primary driver remains robust semiconductor demand tied to global AI infrastructure spending, which lifted chip exports and supported Samsung and SK Hynix—stocks that dominate the index. Year-to-date returns exceed 82%, with $1.25 billion in fresh inflows recorded in early August as foreign buyers returned following deleveraging. Key risks include elevated valuations after the prior rally, potential U.S. tariffs on Korean exports, and KRW volatility. Traders will monitor upcoming global risk sentiment, any Fed communications, and further chip-sector earnings updates for near-term price swings.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if, at any point after market creation and during the week of August 17 2026, any 1-minute candle for South Korea ETF (EWY) has a final "High" or "Low" price equal to or beyond (above for ↑ High Prices, below for ↓ Low Prices) the listed price. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
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.South Korea’s iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) has traded near $179–$180 in mid-August 2026 after rebounding from a sharp July–early August correction that erased roughly 40% from the KOSPI peak.
