  • Korean Media: Lawmakers Discuss Taxing Unrealized Gains from Stocks and Real Estate as Income

    On June 23, the South Korean stock market faced heavy selling pressure, with the KOSPI index plummeting by 9.99%, marking the largest drop in three months; Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix both fell over 12%. Concerns that the recent rally had become overstretched and intensified selling of leading chip stocks contributed to the downturn. Additionally, a widely circulated 'Korean essay' on social media has been cited as one of the catalysts for retail investor panic. The report, attributed to the Korea News Agency, claims that lawmakers from both the ruling and opposition parties are jointly proposing radical tax reforms, intending to classify unrealized gains from investments in real estate and stocks as personal income subject to comprehensive taxation. It asserts that 'even without selling assets, taxes should be levied on the net increase in net assets.' Analysts point out that the South Korean stock market has recently accumulated significant profits due to the AI chip boom and is currently in a sensitive high position. In the context of recent warnings from regulatory authorities against excessive leverage, the effects of such policy-related 'essays' can often be amplified, accelerating a technical deep adjustment in the bullish market of Korean stocks.
  • Hynix Drops Over 12% Today, Southern Double Long Hynix Approaches $17 Billion in Scale

    On the X platform, on-chain analyst Ai Yi stated that the Southern Double Long Hynix is a leveraged ETF launched by Southern Dongying, which has seen over a tenfold increase since its listing in October last year, currently approaching a scale of $17 billion. This ETF tracks the performance of SK Hynix's underlying stock at double the rate. If Hynix fluctuates by 5% in a day, the ETF would need to rebalance $1.7 billion, while Hynix's trading volume yesterday was $11.2 billion. South Korean regulators have indicated they are considering separate measures for such leveraged ETFs, which has impacted the price of Southern Double Long Hynix.

  • Lyons: Korean Stock Volatility Out of Control with Heavy Retail Participation

    On June 23, the South Korean KOSPI index plummeted by 9.99% on Tuesday, marking its largest drop in three months, as overseas investors sold off stocks following signals from Korean regulators about overheating in the chip industry. Alexander Redman, Chief Equity Strategist at CLSA, stated that Tuesday's correction highlights the increasing volatility in the market, with critics concerned that the market has expanded excessively and risks are rising. 'Volatility has gotten out of control. This level of volatility cannot be explained without significant retail participation,' Redman said. 'What worries me is that retail investors have taken the lead, as they are using a lot of margin, even though their ratio to market capitalization is small. Even more concerning is that regulators are now allowing leveraged single security ETFs, which further exacerbates the issue.' On Monday, the head of South Korea's market regulator indicated that the government was too hasty in approving leveraged funds linked to some well-known Korean chip stocks, which were launched last month and have intensified market volatility. Recently, South Korean regulators warned retail investors against using leverage in the KOSPI market, as margin debt or the amount borrowed to purchase stocks had reached a historic high in June.
