EWY, which tracks South Korea’s KOSPI via heavy semiconductor exposure including Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, trades near $180 amid sharp volatility. The index surged above 9,000 in June on AI memory-chip demand before plunging nearly 40% on concerns over hyperscaler capex sustainability, Chinese competition, and leveraged-ETF unwinding, then rebounded to 6,978 by August 14 with a 2.42% daily gain on firmer U.S. producer-price data and risk-on sentiment. YTD returns exceed 82% despite the drawdown, reflecting concentrated earnings growth from high-bandwidth memory but leaving the ETF sensitive to any shifts in global AI investment or U.S. monetary-policy signals.

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.
