00:06Three numbers before the open, 6.24%, 2.33 trillion won minus 0.3.
00:16That's yesterday's Kospi surge, the fourth largest foreign buying day of the year, and
00:22a dollar funding premium now below zero.
00:25SK Hynix reclaimed the 2 million won mark as its ADR exploded 27% in New York.
00:33But leveraged ETF rules are days away, and space ETFs just sank to the bottom of the return
00:39table.
00:41Here's the setup.
00:42It's Thursday, July 16th.
00:44Here's what today's story could mean for the Korean market.
00:49Overnight catalysts did the heavy lifting.
00:51A Barclays $330 ADR target, cooler U.S. CPI, and ASML's earnings beat.
01:00President Lee ordered regulators to fast-track supplementary rules on single-stock leveraged
01:06ETFs less than two months after launch.
01:09And in FX, exporters' hoarded dollars are piling up faster than the spot market can absorb.
01:15Here's what the numbers show.
01:19The Kospi closed at 7,284.41, up 6.24%, triggering a buy sidecar six minutes after the open as
01:31all
01:31top 32 stocks rose.
01:34Foreign investors net bought 2.33 trillion won, the largest since May 6th, against 159.8 trillion
01:43won of net selling year-to-date.
01:46SK Hynix jumped 8.83% to 2,082,000 won, and Samsung Electronics rose 6.27% to 279
01:57,500 won.
02:00IBM plunged 25.21%, erasing $67 billion, and dragged ServiceNow, Adobe, and Workday down with
02:11it.
02:12Six domestic space ETFs bled 66.2 billion won, about $45 million, in a week, as SpaceX fell
02:22back near its $135 IPO price, down 39.7% from its peak.
02:28The won firmed 8.3 won to 1,484.7 per dollar, with SK Hynix's 40 trillion won conversion expected
02:40from mid-July through September.
02:43So what does this mean for active traders in Korea?
02:47Earlier, we flagged minus 0.3.
02:51Here's what that actually means for you.
02:53A negative dollar premium, plus Hynix's conversion flow, points to won strength, and that currency
03:01axis is the supply-demand signal to track alongside foreign net buying.
03:05Near-term risk events, the leveraged ETF rule announcement, IBM's full results on July
03:1422nd, and Alphabet's earnings the same day.
