The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) mirrored the KOSPI's explosive rally during the week of May 4, 2026, climbing from around $165 to highs near $173 by May 5 amid a semiconductor-driven surge fueled by AI demand for memory chips from Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. Year-to-date gains exceed 76%, backed by $6.3 billion in inflows and record $5.5 billion call option open interest, though a $409 million outflow hit on May 7 as shares traded 66% above the 200-day moving average. Accelerating April CPI at +2.6% year-over-year has Bank of Korea policymakers signaling potential hikes from the 2.50% policy rate, with May business sentiment index and trade balance releases as key near-term catalysts.

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.
