South Korea's iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) has traded near $189 in early September 2026, reflecting a year-to-date gain exceeding 94% amid record semiconductor exports that already surpassed the prior full-year total by early September. Heavy concentration in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix—together comprising roughly 45% of holdings—ties performance directly to AI-driven memory chip demand, with semiconductor shipments rising over 169% year-over-year through August and accounting for more than 40% of total exports. This momentum has supported elevated trading volumes and market-implied odds for higher September price thresholds, though recent volatility around the $220 peak and subsequent drawdowns highlight sensitivity to global AI capital spending cycles, memory pricing, and Bank of Korea policy signals. Traders monitoring upcoming export data, chip inventory trends, and any shifts in U.S. or Chinese demand will assess whether current levels sustain or face near-term resistance.

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.
