On August 7, Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares rose 8.27% in pre-market trading, trading at $18.20/share, with turnover of $26.82 million.

On the news front, SK Hynix announced a dividend of 375 KRW per share and stated it is considering additional shareholder return measures, with a detailed plan to be disclosed in the third quarter. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley upgraded the Korean equity market to overweight with a target of 9,000 points on the KOSPI, implying approximately 36% upside from current levels.

Institutional analysis noted that the Korean market is transitioning from panic to bottom recovery. Hedge fund deleveraging has been approximately 75% completed, and leveraged ETF scale has evaporated 70% from its peak, indicating significantly improved market positioning. The rebound follows sharp declines on August 6 when the ETF fell over 13% amid a U.S. memory chip giant's guidance miss that dragged Korean semiconductor heavyweights lower.

The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments providing daily 3x leveraged exposure to the MSCI Korea Index, covering approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization of South Korean issuers. It is non-diversified.
