Abstract generation in progress
On July 5, the Bank of Korea disclosed in a written document submitted to the National Assembly that the rapid expansion of single-stock leveraged ETFs targeting Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix may be amplifying structural 'herding' and volatility risks in the South Korean stock market. The combined market capitalization of the two companies has significantly increased in both market value and trading volume, with their market capitalization share rising from approximately 36.1% at the end of last year to over 55% recently, and trading volume share jumping from 27.9% to 63.5%. South Korean financial regulators have also expressed similar concerns, emphasizing the need to continuously monitor the potential impact of these products on market stability and systemic risk. Single-stock leveraged ETFs may exacerbate one-way capital flows under changing market sentiment, and if the market reverses, the combination of intraday rebalancing and derivative hedging mechanisms could further amplify price volatility.
