South Korea’s equity market continues to ride a powerful AI-driven semiconductor rally that has propelled the KOSPI to record levels near 8,000 in mid-May 2026 before a sharp 6 percent reversal on May 15. The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) tracks this momentum, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix together accounting for the bulk of expected 2026 earnings growth exceeding 300 percent according to Goldman Sachs estimates. Recent volatility stems from domestic policy comments suggesting taxpayer dividends from AI profits, which triggered a 10 percent EWY drop on May 12, followed by partial recovery amid sustained hyperscaler demand for DRAM and NAND. Traders are watching global risk appetite, memory pricing trends, and any further regulatory signals for clues on whether EWY sustains its elevated trading range or faces additional near-term pressure heading into the May 18 week.
