On July 16, CSOP 2x Leveraged Samsung Electronics (07747.HK) fell 17.1% in regular trading, trading at HKD 87.32 per share, with turnover of HKD 192 million.
On the news front, the Bank of Korea announced a 25-basis-point rate hike to 2.75%, marking its first increase since January 2023. The decision triggered a broad selloff in Korean equities, with the KOSPI index plunging over 6% and triggering the SIDECAR program trading halt mechanism. Samsung Electronics fell over 8% in Seoul, while SK Hynix dropped more than 11%.
Adding to the pressure, overnight US chip stocks weakened significantly, with Micron Technology falling 8% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index closing down 2.1%. The combined impact of monetary tightening in Korea and global semiconductor sector weakness severely pressured Samsung Electronics shares. As this ETF tracks Samsung Electronics with 2x leverage, the amplified exposure magnified the underlying stock decline into a sharper drawdown for the product.
