Leveraged ETFs and market volatility
Retail investing culture ("ants")
AI chip industry boom

What it concludes

Korean stock market volatility is driven by a massive retail investor base using extreme leverage.
Single-stock leveraged ETFs force funds to buy on up days and sell on down days, exacerbating market swings.
The institutional rules requiring fund diversification have triggered massive forced selling as Korean chip stocks grew too large.
South Korea's high trade surplus fails to strengthen the won because chipmakers leave their foreign earnings abroad.
Leveraged financial products shorten the timeframe for losses rather than altering long-term asset values.
