On July 5, The Kobeissi Letter reported that the leverage levels of South Korean chip stocks have spiraled out of control. The total asset size of the single-stock leverage and inverse ETFs tracking SK Hynix is currently around $19 billion, which is over four times its average daily trading volume of approximately $4.5 billion this year. Meanwhile, the asset size of Samsung-related leverage ETFs is about $12.4 billion, which is 176% higher than its average daily trading volume of around $4.5 billion. The Hong Kong-listed 2x long SK Hynix ETF has an asset size of about $13 billion, roughly double the average daily trading volume of SK Hynix stocks, marking the largest gap among major stocks tracked by leveraged ETFs. In contrast, the asset size of Micron (MU) related leverage ETFs is about $9.9 billion, below its average daily trading volume of approximately $27.5 billion; Tesla (TSLA) and Nvidia (NVDA) leverage ETFs have asset sizes of about $6 billion and $5.6 billion, respectively, both significantly lower than their average daily trading volumes of around $23.6 billion and $28.8 billion. The leverage concentration in South Korean chip stocks has reached extremely high levels.
