South Korea's semiconductor-led export surge and multiple upward revisions to 2026 GDP growth forecasts drove sentiment for the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) during the week of September 21, 2026. The OECD lifted its full-year projection to 3.7%—its largest G20 upgrade—while the ADB raised its estimate to 3.2%, both citing stronger-than-expected AI chip demand and corporate capital expenditure. EWY, with roughly 46% exposure to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, traded between roughly $176 and $193 amid elevated volumes, reflecting the memory supercycle's pricing power and operating leverage. Recent inflation pressures and energy costs tempered domestic consumption signals, but export momentum and institutional upgrades provided the dominant near-term catalyst.

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.
