Movement Alert｜Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares Rises 8.01% Overnight, Korean Stocks Surge Over 5% Triggering Sidecar Mechanism as SK Hynix Buyback Fuels Rebound

Market Focus

Aug 20

On August 20, Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares rose 8.01% overnight, trading at $20.86/share, with turnover of $49.33 million.

On the news front, the Korean KOSPI index surged over 5% in early trading, triggering the Sidecar circuit breaker mechanism that halted programmatic buying orders. SK Hynix soared over 11% and Samsung Electronics gained over 6%, driving the broad rally. The rebound followed a sharp selloff the prior session when KOSPI plunged 6.71% and triggered a selling-side Sidecar halt.

Multiple catalysts converged to support the recovery: SK Hynix announced a massive 40 trillion KRW share buyback and cancellation plan with a commitment to return at least 50% of free cash flow to shareholders. Additionally, Soros Capital's latest 13F filing revealed iShares MSCI South Korea ETF as its top holding with approximately 212,200 shares valued at $42.84 million, a new position established in Q2. M&G Investments also increased Korean government bond holdings, citing AI-driven chip tax revenue growth. As a triple-leveraged product, KORU amplified the underlying market's recovery.
