500061.KS is trading 3.8% down today as Korean large-cap stocks and KOSPI 200 index futures rebound from a recent semiconductor-led selloff, significantly reducing demand for inverse exposure.

  • The decline reflects profit-taking in downside hedges and a rotation away from short positions as market sentiment stabilizes.
  • Investors are reassessing near-term risks in the Korean equity market, particularly across chipmakers and other index heavyweights.
