KORU, a 3x leveraged South Korea equity ETF, is trading lower on July 2, 2026 as it amplifies a sharp selloff in Korean stocks. The Kospi index dropped more than 7%, with trading briefly halted and heavyweight semiconductor names tumbling. Because KORU provides triple leveraged exposure to the MSCI South Korea index, the severe decline in Samsung, SK Hynix and broader tech shares is translating into outsized downside in the ETF.
