The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) notched a 52-week high of $161.55 during the week of April 27, 2026, propelled by the KOSPI index's explosive 30% April rally to record levels above 6,700, with intraday peaks near 6,750. This momentum stems from semiconductor heavyweights Samsung Electronics (22% weighting) and SK hynix (19%), riding surging DRAM prices amid global AI infrastructure buildout and memory chip demand recovery. A weaker U.S. dollar and Fed rate cut expectations further bolstered exporter sentiment, evidenced by EWY's YTD return exceeding 58% and trading volume spiking to 16.7 million shares. Traders eye potential "sell in May" pullbacks alongside Q1 earnings from tech leaders and Bank of Korea policy signals as key near-term catalysts.

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) "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 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.
