On July 8, 3x Bull Korea ETF-Direxion rose 8.29% overnight, trading at $589.01/share, with turnover of $63.01 million. The overnight rebound follows the previous session's 13.65% plunge after the Korean KOSPI index crashed nearly 5% on July 7, triggering the circuit breaker mechanism for the sixth time this year.
The July 7 sell-off was driven by market concerns over the sustainability of AI-related record earnings, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix plunging over 10% intraday. By July 8, the KOSPI opened down 2.66% but quickly narrowed its decline to 2%, signaling stabilizing sentiment. This mirrors the V-shaped recovery pattern seen on July 3, when the KOSPI surged 5.8% after initially falling over 3%, fueled by Anthropic-Samsung chip collaboration news. Goldman Sachs maintains a 12-month KOSPI target of 12,000 points, citing rapid earnings growth and attractive valuations despite elevated volatility.
