South Korea orders broader review of structural drivers behind stock market volatility

South Korea’s presidential office has called for an investigation into the structural reasons why the country’s stock market shows sharper volatility than other markets, according to KBS. Kim Yong-beom, head of the presidential policy office, said the review was ordered in response to recent swings in Korean equities and will cover more than leveraged exchange-traded funds. Kim said the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service were asked to examine the broader market structure. He said leveraged ETFs may have intensified volatility, but they are not the only factor. The review is expected to focus on areas including the share of derivatives trading and the makeup of the investor base. He also pointed to developments in China’s semiconductor sector as a source of market concern. Kim mentioned the strong market reception for Shanghai-listed DRAM maker ChangXin Memory Technologies and ongoing efforts by Chinese state-owned companies to develop deep ultraviolet, or DUV, lithography equipment. Those factors, he said, may be fueling worries about the memory chip competitiveness of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, in a situation he compared with the earlier “DeepSeek shock.”
