SGSouth Korea's finance minister announced new measures to reduce stock market volatility, particularly targeting the surge in retail investments in single-stock leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These measures include capping such ETFs at 20% of an individual's total investment assets, following earlier efforts that proved insufficient. Daily trading volumes in these ETFs, including the KODEX SK Hynix and KODEX Samsung Electronics ETFs, have declined significantly since the implementation of these controls. Analysts note a reduction in KOSPI market volatility but emphasize that further observation is needed to fully assess the impact.
