Bank of Korea warns on chip derivatives
The Bank of Korea warned that the rapid growth of derivatives related to South Korean semiconductor companies is increasing volatility in the local markets, especially due to the rising use of foreign hedge funds that promote highly leveraged positions, such as the "Situational Awareness" fund, which employed leverage of up to four times its capital. This has led to increased fluctuations in the Kospi index, with positions being liquidated during the July sell-off, and leveraged ETF values rising more than 20-fold in the first half of the year, particularly affecting Samsung and SK Hynix stocks. These developments reflect the impact of foreign capital flows and the potential risk of financial deterioration in the Korean market.
