[South Korean Presidential Office: To Investigate Structural Factors Behind High Volatility in South Korean Stock Market, Not Limited to Leveraged ETFs] According to South Korean media outlet KBS, Kim Yong-beom, the Chief of Policy Office at the South Korean Presidential Office, announced that in response to the recent significant fluctuations in the South Korean stock market, the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service have been instructed to investigate the structural factors contributing to the market's volatility, which is notably higher than other markets. The scope of the evaluation will not be limited to leveraged ETFs but will encompass the entire market structure. The South Korean stock market has inherent structural issues, where global market fluctuations of the same magnitude tend to be amplified in the South Korean market. While leveraged ETFs may exacerbate market volatility, they are not the sole cause. Key areas for examination should include the proportion of derivatives trading and the composition of investors.
