South Korea's EWY ETF, with nearly 50% exposure to information technology including heavy Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix weightings, saw elevated volatility during the week of August 24, 2026, as semiconductor shares drove price action amid AI demand signals and profit-taking. The benchmark KOSPI fluctuated sharply around 6,700-6,800 levels, closing the week modestly lower after rebounding from early losses tied to chip concerns. Key catalysts included the Bank of Korea's back-to-back 25-basis-point rate hikes to 3.00%, Nvidia's earnings results, and U.S. Treasury yield movements, which influenced foreign flows and risk appetite. Record EWY inflows earlier in the summer underscored its role as a proxy for Korean memory-chip exposure amid ADR premiums, though elevated beta and sector concentration amplified sensitivity to global tech sentiment and monetary policy shifts.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if, at any point after market creation and during the week of August 24 2026, any 1-minute candle for South Korea ETF (EWY) has a final "High" or "Low" price equal to or beyond (above for ↑ High Prices, below for ↓ Low Prices) the listed price. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
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.South Korea's EWY ETF, with nearly 50% exposure to information technology including heavy Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix weightings, saw elevated volatility during the week of August 24, 2026, as semiconductor shares drove price action amid AI demand signals and profit-taking.
