印尼證券交易所負責人：MSCI公告出乎我方意料，引發市場恐慌。

Korea's Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) chief Lee Chan-jin apologized for failing to act to block listings of single-stock leveraged ETFs, saying their launch had "to some extent" increased market volatility. At a National Assembly oversight hearing on the 19th, a People Power Party lawmaker cited post-listing headlines calling the week "Black Monday" through "Black Friday"; Lee reiterated the ETFs had an effect "to some extent" and added that Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix had shown pronounced volatility.

Cathie Wood said recent selling in Korean equities reflects programmatic/systematic trading rather than deteriorating fundamentals and that South Korean semiconductor stocks are now in a buy range. She linked the drop to a June peak-and-fall in memory stocks coinciding with a record-high won vs the dollar, saying the combination of price declines and the currency move amplified mechanical programmatic selling. Wood added the pullback also reflects a correction after rapid prior gains, noting that sharp rises in memory chip unit prices have reduced retail demand for electronic devices—a factor she says is already priced in. The Kospi opened down over 3% and had recovered to trade marginally lower at time of reporting.
