The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) recently hit a 52-week high near $164, propelled by record Q1 2026 earnings from semiconductor leaders Samsung Electronics (KRW 133.9 trillion revenue, KRW 57.2 trillion operating profit) and SK Hynix, amid explosive AI-driven memory chip demand that has fueled a 130% one-year gain and 50% year-to-date Kospi surge. This export-heavy benchmark reflects South Korea's tech upcycle resilience despite steady Bank of Korea base rate at 2.50%, with elevated trading volumes signaling strong trader consensus on momentum continuation. Key risks include U.S. tariff signals and global risk appetite; watch industrial output data and U.S. nonfarm payrolls next week for volatility around EWY price thresholds.

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" 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 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.
