Franklin FTSE South Korea ETF is trading 5.1% up in pre-market as South Korean equities rebound from the prior session's Black Monday circuit-breaker selloff in Seoul.

  • The move tracks a sharp bounce in South Korean and global semiconductor names amid broader risk-on sentiment.
  • Investors are buying back into Korean risk assets following geopolitical de-escalation and a tech-led recovery in U.S. markets.
