Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares (KORU) surged 5.33% during Tuesday's intraday trading session.
The sharp rise followed the release of South Korea's per capita national income data, which showed a slight increase of 0.3% in 2025. According to the Bank of Korea, nominal Gross National Income (GNI) measured in Korean won grew by 4.6% year-on-year, while nominal GDP increased by 4.2% in local currency terms.
Although the Korean won's depreciation against the US dollar offset some gains in dollar terms, investors appeared to respond positively to the underlying growth in the economy, driving up the leveraged ETF that tracks South Korean equities.
