South Korea’s iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) has advanced sharply on sustained AI-related demand for memory chips, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix driving the bulk of KOSPI gains that reached multiple all-time highs above 8,000 earlier in May before a 6.1% pullback on May 15. Year-to-date returns exceed 96% amid record inflows, elevated call-option open interest, and upward earnings revisions tied to hyperscaler capital spending, though May seasonality has historically produced flat-to-negative performance with only a 47% win rate. Recent record outflows of $409 million from EWY on May 7 and accelerating inflation data prompting Bank of Korea hawkish signals introduce near-term pressure on the won and equity valuations. Traders monitoring the week of May 18 will focus on export figures, business sentiment releases, and any shifts in U.S. dollar strength or global risk appetite that could determine whether EWY sustains momentum near recent highs around 193–194 or experiences consolidation.
