South Korea-focused EWY, with roughly half its assets in information technology including heavy weights in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, has exhibited sharp volatility around the week of August 24, 2026. The ETF closed at $173.64 on August 24 after a 2.63% daily decline, following a KOSPI rebound above 6,850 driven by SK Hynix’s 40 trillion won share buyback announcement and stabilization in longer-term U.S. Treasury yields. Year-to-date returns remain elevated near 78–83%, fueled by AI memory demand, yet the fund trades about 21% below its June peak near $221 amid swings tied to global bond yields, foreign investor flows, and semiconductor earnings sensitivity. Key near-term influences include Nvidia’s results, potential Fed communications, and any further corporate capital-return measures that could sway risk appetite and implied probabilities in related prediction markets.

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.
