On August 19, Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares rose 11% in pre-market trading. The rebound follows the prior session's over 15% plunge triggered by surging short interest and bond yield spikes in the Korean market.

On the news front, Soros Capital's Q2 13F filing revealed that the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF became its top holding as a newly established position, comprising approximately 212,200 shares worth $42.84 million, or 7.66% of the portfolio. The fund's total holdings surged from $2.3 billion to $5.6 billion quarter-over-quarter.

Additionally, M&G Investments increased its Korean government bond allocation, arguing the market has overpriced rate hikes and that AI-driven chip tax revenue growth will reduce bond supply.

These institutional bullish signals, combined with severe short-term oversold conditions after the KOSPI index briefly triggered circuit breakers, have fueled expectations of a technical rebound in Korean tech stocks.

The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments providing daily 3x leveraged exposure to the MSCI Korea 25/50 Index, covering approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization of South Korean issuers. It is non-diversified.
