**EWY, which tracks the MSCI Korea Index with roughly 49% technology exposure dominated by Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, has shown extreme volatility in August 2026 amid the ongoing AI-driven memory chip supercycle.** Strong semiconductor exports lifted South Korea’s July shipments near $100 billion (second-highest on record) and prompted multiple upward revisions to 2026 GDP forecasts, including KDI raising its projection to 3.2% and Moody’s to 3.5%, citing sustained AI capex demand extending into 2027. The Bank of Korea held its base rate at 2.75% after a July hike, with markets monitoring potential further tightening as core inflation held near 2.6%. Within the week of August 24, EWY traded from a low near 171.26 on the 24th to a close of 180.15 on the 25th before easing to 179.16 on the 26th, reflecting rapid sentiment swings tied to chip pricing momentum, KRW moves, and broader risk appetite. Record ETF inflows earlier in the summer underscored its role as a liquid proxy for Korean memory names, while upcoming domestic data releases and global tech earnings continue to influence positioning.
