In 2026, South Korea's KOSPI index saw annualized volatility exceed 60%, surpassing Bitcoin's fluctuations, driven mainly by Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, which together make up over half of the index. The market entered a technical bear phase after a sharp drop in July, prompting regulatory measures such as caps on leveraged ETF investments and increased trading costs to curb volatility. While US Treasury yields remain stable, the heavy concentration in AI-related stocks means Korean market swings will likely continue, posing risks for investors in Korean or Asia-Pacific equities. The effectiveness of regulatory actions in reducing volatility versus liquidity remains uncertain.
