Transcript

00:02Kospi just posted its worst day in months, down nearly 5 percent.

00:09The Bank of Korea raised its base rate to 2.25 percent this week.

00:15New leveraged ETF listings are stalling as regulators tighten reviews,

00:21and retail investors just kept buying Samsung Electronics for an eighth straight session.

00:27It's Monday, August 3rd. Here's what investors are watching in Korea today.

00:34The Kospi slide followed a broader risk-off mood across regional markets. Regulators have been

00:41reviewing single-stock leveraged ETFs since a wave of new launches earlier this year.

00:47That review is now colliding with the rate hike and the market's roughest trading day in months.

00:54Here's what the numbers show. Eight straight sessions. That's how long retail investors

01:00kept buying Samsung Electronics, even as the Kospi dropped nearly 5 percent in a single day.

01:08The Bank of Korea raised its base rate to 2.25 percent this week,

01:14prompting major brokerages to raise deposit interest rates in response.

01:19New leveraged ETF listings swung from 11 in March to just 6 in June, then jumped to 17 in July,

01:28as asset managers moved to cut leverage ratios from 3 times to 2 times exposure.

01:36That regulatory review is delaying new product launches heading into the second half.

01:42NextTrade extended block trade hours to 8 p.m., widening the window for large trades ahead of expected volatility.

01:51So what does this mean for the market tomorrow?

01:54Earlier, we said retail investors kept buying Samsung Electronics through the sell-off.

02:01Here's what that actually means for you.

02:03Individual investors are betting this is a dip, not a downturn.

02:09Foreign fun flows tomorrow will show whether that conviction holds up.

02:14That's today's AI Prism, Securities Daily.

02:18This episode was produced with AI assistance based on Seoul Economic Daily reporting,

02:24and reviewed by a human editor.

02:26AI Prism is a Juan Ifra award-winning series.

02:31We'll be back tomorrow.
