KOSPI Doubles but 334 Stocks Hit New Lows as Chips Dominate | June 29 2026 [Hz9IovCofXV]
Episode Description:The KOSPI is up 66% — yet a third of its stocks just hit fresh lows. Here's the concentration trap traders are facing. This episode unpacks how Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix now make up over 56% of the KOSPI, how single-stock leverage ETFs drained liquidity from the rest of the market, and why foreign selling of 136.7 trillion won has pushed the won past 1,500 to the dollar. We cover SK Hynix's Nasdaq ADR listing and its 2,000-trillion-won market cap, the big-five brokerages heading for record profits even as their shares fall, and LG Display's turnaround. We close with the catalysts traders should track this week.
