On July 14, Direxion Daily South Korea Bull 3X Shares fell 9.31% overnight, trading at $385.0/share, with turnover of $27.36 million.
On the news front, the Korean KOSPI index plunged nearly 9% on July 13, triggering circuit breakers twice and losing the 7,000-point level. The direct catalyst was Korean brokerage KIS forecasting SK Hynix Q2 operating profit at approximately 60.4 trillion won, roughly 8% below the market consensus of 65 trillion won. SK Hynix subsequently crashed 15.4%, marking its largest single-day decline on record, while Samsung Electronics fell over 9%.
According to the Korea Financial Investment Association, cumulative forced liquidations in July reached 3,442 billion won as of July 9. Due to a two-trading-day data lag, the clearing pressure triggered by Monday's crash has not yet been fully reflected, with subsequent figures expected to climb further. Additionally, markets widely expect the Bank of Korea to announce a rate hike at its July 16 meeting, with tightening expectations continuing to suppress risk appetite.
