This market will resolve to "Yes" if, at any point during May 2026, any 1-minute candle for South Korea ETF (EWY) has a final "High" price equal to or above the listed price. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". 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.

Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter.

KOSPI rocketed nearly 30% in April 2026—its best month in 28 years—fueled by record Q1 earnings at Samsung Electronics (133 trillion won revenue, 57 trillion won operating profit) and SK hynix, with shares jumping 15% post-results. Bank of Korea's steady 2.50% base rate supports growth after surprise 1.7% Q1 GDP expansion. However, 'Sell in May' risks loom with potential profit-taking, while U.S. Fed policy and chip export trends will shape May's close amid elevated valuations.
