Korea Tightens Leveraged ETF Rules; Samsung and SK Hynix Product Trading Value Plunges 92%

South Korean financial authorities tightened leveraged ETF rules, causing trading value in products linked to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix to plunge 92%. The move aims to curb excessive retail speculation and reduce market volatility. Near term, the retreat of leveraged money may weaken marginal demand for the stocks and amplify price swings; longer term it supports healthier market structure with limited fundamental impact.
