EWY is trading 3.1% higher today as South Korean equities benefit from a broader recovery in global risk sentiment and a tech-led rebound in U.S. markets.

  • The fund is recovering from a late-July semiconductor-led selloff, buoyed by gains in major chip and tech names following strong U.S. tech earnings and rising Nasdaq futures.
  • Cooling U.S. inflation data has improved investor appetite for risk, lifting the broader MSCI Korea index that the ETF tracks.
