Korea's equity market is splitting in real time: bearish traders are rotating into inverse ETFs at record pace, while retail investors doubled down on leveraged semiconductor bets — and got burned in the same session.
In today's AI PRISM: Stock Investors, we break down June's 48% surge in inverse ETF daily turnover to 2.81 trillion won, six active ETFs failing Korea's correlation coefficient threshold with four formally delisted July 7-9, SK Hynix entering the corporate bond market for the first time with 250 billion won, and the TIGER US S&P500 ETF crossing 20 trillion won in net assets — a first for any Korea-listed overseas equity fund. We also cover what National Pension Fund rebalancing starting this month means for KOSPI large-cap positioning.
