Kospi Rebounds 30% but Chip ETF Investors Still 80% Underwater

Although the Kospi has rebounded about 30% from its lows, investors in leveraged and thematic ETFs heavily exposed to chip stocks such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are still sitting on roughly 80% losses. The fact that retail investors who bought chips at high prices remain stuck even as the broader market recovers could curb further inflows into the chip sector, weighing on short-term liquidity for SK Hynix and peers.
