🔴 Focused Region ETF (MKOR) is trading 3% down as hotter-than-expected CPI revived rate concerns

MKOR is trading at $56.75, down 3.02%, as hotter-than-expected September inflation revived concerns about higher-for-longer rates.

• September headline CPI rose 3.7% year over year versus 3.6% expected; Treasury yields jumped after the release, adding pressure to growth-oriented shares.
• MKOR has substantial technology exposure. Korean memory-chip leaders recently faced selling amid concerns about Chinese competition, but Korean shares and chipmakers rebounded on October 14. That earlier sector weakness is context, not confirmation of a fresh intraday decline driver.
