KORU is trading at $20.42 (-11.49%) as a sharp South Korean equity selloff hits technology stocks.
- The KOSPI opened roughly 3.1% lower and closed down 3.26%; SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics fell amid concerns about an AI-growth slowdown.
- Higher Middle East-related oil prices, elevated Treasury yields, and increased expectations for a September Federal Reserve rate hike pressured Koreaβs technology-heavy market and weakened the won.
- KORU targets 300% of the MSCI Korea Index, magnifying the underlying decline.
