On October 27, Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares recorded an Overnight rise of 8.17%, trading at $11.79, with turnover of $23.31 million.
The move aligned with a sharp opening rally in South Korean equities, as the KOSPI opened up 3.5% while major memory chip names advanced on renewed AI-trade momentum and rising expectations for stronger shareholder returns.

Reports indicated SK Hynix plans to announce an additional shareholder return program of 50 trillion won to 60 trillion won alongside its third-quarter results on October 28, reinforcing optimism around large-cap Korean technology stocks that heavily influence the underlying MSCI South Korea index tracked by leveraged products.
Additional context came from a recent strategist note arguing Korean equity valuations had become excessively depressed, with the KOSPI trading near 4 times forward earnings and semiconductor valuations pricing in an overly pessimistic earnings outlook.
