The CSOP SK Hynix Daily (2x) Leveraged Product experienced a sharp decline of 5.23% during intraday trading on Tuesday.
The drop was primarily driven by mechanical selling pressure affecting the broader Korean semiconductor sector. SK Hynix's extraordinary gains, exceeding 1000% over the past year, have triggered a 10% single-stock holding cap for numerous global investment funds, forcing them to unwind positions to comply with diversification rules. This compliance-driven selling has led to significant foreign capital outflows from Korean equities.
As a leveraged exchange-traded product, the CSOP fund magnifies the price movements of its underlying asset, SK Hynix. Analysts emphasize that the current selloff is a result of portfolio rebalancing requirements rather than a fundamental deterioration in the outlook for AI storage chips.
