Recent volatility in the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY), trading near $177–180 as of late August 2026 after a sharp July correction in the KOSPI, stems primarily from heavy exposure to AI-linked semiconductors such as Samsung and SK Hynix. Global chip demand, foreign institutional flows, and KRW movements against the dollar remain key drivers, while margin deleveraging and valuation resets created pronounced swings earlier in the summer. The week of August 24 features U.S. data releases including core PCE inflation, consumer confidence, and GDP revisions, alongside the Jackson Hole symposium, which could shift rate expectations and risk appetite for emerging-market equities. These events will likely determine short-term price thresholds amid ongoing sensitivity to 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.
