South Korea’s EWY ETF, tracking the MSCI Korea 25/50 Index and heavily weighted toward semiconductors, has surged more than 125% year-to-date through June 18, 2026, closing at $219.20 after a 6.89% single-day gain amid record KOSPI advances. The primary catalyst remains the semiconductor upcycle, with strong export growth, elevated DRAM price forecasts, and robust earnings from Samsung and SK Hynix driving institutional inflows and retail participation. Recent domestic demand improvements and GDP beats have reinforced momentum, while traders also monitor potential MSCI developed-market inclusion and any hawkish Fed signals affecting global risk appetite. With the ETF near its 52-week high and elevated volatility, the week of June 22 centers on whether chip demand sustains the advance or profit-taking emerges ahead of key data releases.

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" 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 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.
