‼️VOLATILITY continues to dominate the South Korean equity market:


The Kospi index fell -1.58% on Friday, pulling back sharply after crossing the 9,000 mark for the first time just a day earlier.
The small-cap Kosdaq index tumbled -4.95%, far underperforming the broader market.
At the same time, Samsung reversed earlier gains to fall -3%, while SK Hynix finished up +1%.
Together, the 2 stocks now account for a record ~55% of the Kospi index.
This comes as investors assess the durability of the US-brokered Iran peace deal, with both US Vice President JD Vance and Iran's Supreme Leader describing the agreement as conditional on continued compliance.
Meanwhile, the Kospi Volatility Index has more than TRIPLED over the last few weeks, now sitting near an all-time high.
The Korean market's volatility is set to remain elevated.
